Overview
The first module concentrated on developing the knowledge and attitudes necessary to begin to address obesity with your patients. The second module concentrated on motivational interviewing to support patients who may be ambivalent about change. In this module you will learn how to support patients that are ready to make changes through a brief intervention. The module concentrates on behaviour change, but also includes medical interventions and specialist referral where appropriate.
These skills are generic and can be used to support any kind of behaviour change, from smoking cessation to taking regular medication. It is aimed at health care professionals in both the community (GPs, practice nurses, pharmacists etc.) and in hospital settings (cardiologists, diabetes specialist nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians etc.)
