A Pledge to End the Social Stigma of Obesity. A workshop for health professionals.

Join us on Friday 9th February 2024 at 11:00 AM in Strand, London, WC2R 2LS or online.

Obesity affects millions of people worldwide. These individuals are not only at risk of serious medical complications, they also face a pervasive form of social stigma and discrimination.

Our expert panel of academics, medics and activists raise awareness of the prevalence and health impacts of weight-based stigma in healthcare and beyond. We will also challenge the misconceptions around body weight regulation and learn why obesity cannot be solved only by eating less and exercising more.

This workshop follows an international consensus conference and article in Nature Medicine 'the Joint international consensus statement for ending stigma of obesity'

Join us and over 100 scientific organisations; sign the pledge to help eradicate weight-based stigma and discrimination and pledge to treat individuals with overweight and obesity with dignity and respect.

If you sign up to attend in person and can no longer make it, we kindly ask that you cancel your invitation or email stephanie.ray@kcl.ac.uk, to help us manage catering.
