Society for Endocrinology- Obesity Management Symposium - for the Endocrinologist
09-10 September 2010
http://www.endocrinology.org/meetings/2010/oms2010/index.html
One of the major aims of the Society for Endocrinology is to develop the role of endocrinologists in the delivery of services for severely obese patients. The key to this is the training of future endocrinologists in the area of obesity and metabolism. To this end, the Society’s Obesity Special Interest Group (convened by Dr Sadaf Farooqi (Cambridge) and Professor John Wilding (Liverpool)) has developed a national symposium that will focus on practical aspects of obesity management and service delivery. The second symposium will be held at the Institute of Metabolic Science, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge. Please visit the above website for more information about the symposium and for details of how to register.
The total number of delegates has been limited to 40 to ensure that a collegiate atmosphere is generated that will provide an effective forum for networking with peers and faculty. To register your interest, please email: confrences@endocrinology.org
