With a pre-recorded NB course, you can work your way through a course at your own leisure and at your own speed. We offer 3 and 6 hour courses, broken down into topics, available 24 hours a day to suit your own schedule.
The new NB Medical Guide to Managing Obesity and Overweight in Primary Care is a half-day, evidence-based course to help you gain confidence and provide your patients with the care and treatments they need. You will learn about the rapidly evolving science regarding the causes of obesity, the effects of the stigma that your patients with obesity face, the best treatments for obesity and most importantly, what you can do in Primary Care on a very practical level.
