This is the 7th in Pharmacy Magazine’s 2024 series of CPD activities. Every month we publish four articles each accompanied by a short online quiz for which you can receive a certificate of completion provided you achieve 80% or more. You can use these to help compile your annual CPD activities. Let us know if there are any topics you’d like us to focus on.

A pharmacists’ role in managing obesity extends beyond dispensing medications. It involves being an educator, an advocate, and a supporter for patients navigating the challenges of weight loss.
