The RCP has today published its response to the Welsh government consultation on Healthy Weight: Healthy Wales, its draft strategy to prevent and reduce obesity.

More than 50,000 life-altering fractures could be avoided if preventative services were made available more widely, a new report from the RCP finds.

In his latest video blog, Professor Andrew Goddard explains why the RCP has called on the government to recognise obesity as a disease.

As a 12-week consultation period begins on the new Welsh government obesity strategy, Lowri Jackson, RCP head of policy and campaigns (Wales), discusses the key aims of the plan and the complex challenge of preventing and reducing obesity in Wales.

Other conditions with a lifestyle component, such as lung cancer, are recognised as a disease, so why not obesity? Doing so would focus attention on improving prevention and treatment, rather than telling those with obesity to ‘try harder’, says Professor John Wilding.

The RCP is calling for obesity to urgently be recognised as a disease by government and the broader health sector, and warning that until this happens its prevalence is unlikely to be reduced.
