ACCEND Mapped Ticked Star.pngThe e-learning has been developed to support people working across the healthcare system understand the negative consequences associated with weight stigma and how healthcare staff can take a person-centred, empathetic approach when discussing weight as part of overall health and well-being.

 

 

You will learn:

  • What weight stigma is and how it is experienced in everyday interactions
  • The physical and psychological effects of weight stigma
  • How weight stigma can affect clinical decision-making, diagnosis, patient trust, and health outcomes
