The Bariatric Stream, held at St Mary’s Campus Paddington, consists of two, week long Modules. The overall theme for both modules is surgical innovation, covering multiple topics in the following domains; epidemiology, management, service, technical, quality of care, and Medico-legal aspects of obesity management for safe practice in the UK and globally.  Teaching is delivered in lectures and practical workshops. The aim is to provide the knowledge and skills to assess and manage the overweight and obese patient (Obesity Medicine) and for students to gain a practical and theoretical understanding of the surgical treatment of morbid obesity (Bariatric Surgery).  

Obesity Medicine

Bariatric Surgery

This module allows students to gain an understanding of the surgical treatment of morbid obesity, including early and late complications.
