Clinical Care Committee

World Obesity's Clinical Care Committee was set up to manage and develop World Obesity’s education programme, SCOPE - the Strategic Centre for Obesity Professional Education.

Clinical Care's mission statement is as follows:

  •     To improve and provide education in obesity
  •     To recognise leaders and experts in the field
  •     To develop evidence-based management pathways

The Clinical Care Committee is responsible for the various strands of the SCOPE programme including SCOPE Schools, SCOPE E-Learning and the SCOPE Certification, Fellowship and Accreditation schemes. All educational content developed or accredited by World Obesity is reviewed by Clinical Care to ensure it meets the highest educational standards and is based on the latest scientific evidence.
