Primary Care

Systems to implement strategy in primary care

  • Ensure that systems are in place to implement the local obesity strategy. This should enable health professionals with specific training, including public health practitioners working singly and as part of multidisciplinary teams, to provide interventions to prevent and manage obesity.
  • All primary care settings should:
  • address the training needs of staff involved in preventing and managing obesity
  • allocate adequate time and space for staff to take action
  • enhance opportunities for health professionals to engage with a range of organisations and to develop multidisciplinary teams.

Making obesity a priority in primary care

  • Managers and health professionals in all primary care settings should ensure that preventing and managing obesity is a priority at both strategic and delivery levels. Allocate dedicated resources for action.
