"With obesity one of the most significant causes of death and disease in Australia, The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP), in collaboration with the Heart Foundation, has launched a new online learning module that will boost the skills of general practitioners (GPs) and practice nurses in supporting overweight and obese people to work towards a healthy weight.At some point, someone has to get it said that all this stuff is simply a waste.
The activity, called Managing weight, has been developed through an educational grant from the Heart Foundation funded by the NSW Health Department."
That anyone would need a "new...learning module" to teach Calories in, Calories out is an embarrassment.
"'Patients who are overweight or obese often seek the advice of their GP to help them move towards a healthier weight and to manage the health issues associated with their weight. A first port of call for the Australian community, GPs play an important role in health promotion, addressing the benefits of physical activity and the need for good nutrition, as part of a healthy lifestyle,' said Dr Chris Mitchell."Especially when it is for docs, who ought to know how to do basic math.
This is insane.
