No Time to Weight! Obesity Australia Conference, Sydney, Australia

CCH Executive Chairman, John Feenie, attended the Obesity Australia conference held at the new Charles Perkins Centre in Sydney, Australia, this November. The conference, which was partially sponsored by CCH, attracted delegates from all over Australia to discuss strategies to improve understanding of the multitude of factors to be addressed to deal with the problem of obesity. During a number of presentations, frequent reference was made to the cost of obesity in the country which in 2008 was estimated to be $58 billion annually. We will be using information from the Conference in our Postgraduate Diploma module, Comparative Approaches to Obesity Care.
