Dear BBC Newsline - yet again I have to ask you to stop using these types of images. Showing 'headless' shots of people living with obesity just going about their day - it is dehumanising and drives weight stigma. And no-one is 'being obese' - same as no-one is being cancerous.



Thanks to Diabetes Ireland for the opportunity to speak at #DICE2025 🙌 Key message: food is life 🍝, in diabetes & otherwise - let’s normalise that!




Brilliant line up led by Michael Crotty. Way oversubscribed. We’ll have to run another one.



Michael Crotty fabulous update on current treatments: “Life Treatment” is cornerstone, with fully informing shared conversation in choice of obesity medication and/or bariatric surgery as indicated. No single treatment is a cure.

🎤Fantastic Panel Discussion: "Who do we treat?" Chaired by Michael Crotty at #ObesityMasterclass A powerful, multi-disciplinary discussion on access, equity & clinical decision-making in obesity care. #ObesityCare #PatientVoices


Finishing the day off with expert speakers Helen Heneghan and Josh Percival. Thank you to the NIPC for hosting this event. We need this exact same event run exclusively for our patient community! NIPC
