Obesity Training Directory

Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives: Directory of Obesity Training Providers

This directory was commissioned by the Department of Health and written by DOM UK.  It lists training providers running courses on the prevention and management of obesity. It is a resource for those in primary care trusts (PCTs) and local authorities who commission public health services.

The directory is an update to the one published in 2005. 

The Department of Health is keen to receive feedback from commissioners on the training programmes in the directory.  Feedback should be sent to healthyweight@dh.gsi.gov.uk

Additionally, if you are a training provider and want to be included in any future updates of this document, e-mail the address above.

Dependent on the responses received, the Department will consider updating this document in 2010, to include new providers and a summary of feedback.
