Description

Obesity care is changing rapidly—but the experience of accessing evidence-informed care remains inconsistent across Canada. Pharmacists are often among the most accessible and trusted healthcare professionals in a person's care journey, and evolving scopes of practice are creating new possibilities in some parts of the country. Through the real-world experience of a patient and pharmacist working together, alongside clinical perspectives, this conversation will explore what better obesity care looks like and how pharmacists can contribute as part of a connected healthcare team.
