THE ERGONOMICS OF OBESITY THERAPY:
* Have you had a difficult experience treating a patient over 25 stones/350 pounds/160kg? * Did you encounter any issues with equipment provision? * Were you given adequate support/training for the patient's treatment/care? * How successful was rehabilitation? I am doing some research at Loughborough University regarding the increase in obesity in the UK and the implications for OT equipment provision, with an interest in the concept of a specialist hospital ward for obese patients. If you have experience in the area of obesity or would like to be put in touch with those who have, please contact me by email or telephone (01509) 562503. International contacts welcome via email if you have something you would like to contribute to the discussion. |
