GPs can and must do more to tackle obesity epidemic

General practitioners (GPs) can and should do more to tackle the obesity epidemic in Australia, a new study from The Australian National University (ANU) has found.
Two in three Australians are overweight or obese but half of patients in obesity programs drop out before achieving any results.
Dr Liz Sturgiss from the ANU Medical School led a pilot study which found GPs were well placed on the health frontline to help patients manage their weight, but they did not have the confidence to do so effectively.
