'Behind the Veil… Journeys in Chronic Healthcare with Dr Stan Landau and Team'

The CDE Academy is proud to invite you to register for our next Journal Club Webinar. Each session is real-time, online and CPD-accredited.

All our topics are carefully selected to be of interest to all members of the wider interdisciplinary diabetes team.

‘Beyond BMI: What’s new in the 2026 Obesity guidelines?’

Recent scholarship increasingly reframes obesity not as a simple imbalance of energy, but as a chronic, relapsing disease influenced by genetics, environment, neurohormonal regulation, social context, and healthcare structures. For healthcare professionals this shift carries practical implications: how we set goals, how we measure success, how we select therapies, and how we speak with people living with obesity about weight without reinforcing stigma. It also challenges traditional hierarchies of intervention, as pharmacotherapy, behavioural strategies, metabolic surgery, and digital support models intersect in new ways.

Within diabetes care, the relationship between adiposity and cardiometabolic risk is both familiar and evolving. Questions of timing, intensity, equity of access, and sustainability now sit alongside efficacy data. Importantly, the MDT perspective becomes central by recognising that meaningful change rarely occurs within a single consultation or discipline, but through coordinated, longitudinal care that integrates clinical science with human realities.

Our live session aims not only to review data, but to explore interpretation: what the evidence suggests, what remains uncertain, and how context shapes implementation in everyday practice.
