【 摘 要 】

In this podcast we talk to Professor John Wass, co-author of the ‘Action on obesity: Comprehensive care for all’ report, and Chair of the Working Party for Action on Obesity in the UK. In this interview Prof Wass discusses the gaps in care for obese patients in current UK healthcare services, and outlines his recommendations on what actions should be taken to tackle these issues, including how education about nutrition and obesity should be offered to the public as well as within the formal medical education system.
