Working with bariatric clients presents a unique set of health and environmental challenges and risks. As the number of bariatric people in Aotearoa continues to grow, clinicians and healthcare professionals need to learn new ways to provide safe, individual and dignified care.
Led by our Clinical Advisor and RNZOT Sharon Woodward, with Equipment Advisor Garry Stanners, in this webinar, we'll explore common complications and considerations that clinicians and health professionals should be mindful of when caring for bariatric clients.
As part of this webinar, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any burning questions you have. We’ll also provide some useful tools and resources that you can share with your teams. A certificate of attendance will be provided to support your CPD.
Who should attend?
This webinar has been created for Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Nurses, clinicians and carers who would like to gain an understanding of considerations that need to be made when caring for bariatric clients.
If you can't make this day or time, but would still like to view this webinar on-demand, please email hello@cubro.co.nz and we’ll arrange to send you the recording.
