Being overweight or obese poses a considerable risk to an individual’s future health, especially children.
Currently, healthcare systems globally are struggling to manage the growing number of individuals, adults and children alike, that are now overweight or obese, and urgent action is required to reverse this situation.

Lee Cain, Managing Director at HFE said “we’re delighted to be able to support GLL with this training and we’re confident that the team will find the content and training valuable in better understanding the complexities and nuances that influence childhood obesity. Our in-house team, led by a leading doctor in this field have worked on this project for a long time to make sure that it strikes the right balance between theory and application. We wish the guys at GLL the best of luck with their future endeavours in this area.
