How did the 4Forums come to life?

The sessions were recognised as one of the ‘best-in-class’ industry educational initiatives in Australia for 2020 with >18,000 registrations across all 6 sessions, and a live viewing of ~1,250 per webinar. There were 12 different specialities predominately GPs, endocrinologists, internal medicine physicians, bariatric physicians, psychiatrists and dietitians contributing to the lively discussions. The 4Forums will provide additional learnings to address identified needs in education. It strives to involve a greater primary care-based healthcare professional audience with ‘practical and implementable recommendations’ that will assist positive behaviour change.
