The APS has been asked for expert input into the draft updated Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Overweight and Obesity for Adults, Adolescents and Children in Australia, led by Deakin University.
Following public consultation and NHMRC peer review, there have been substantial revisions to the Guidelines. These have also been shaped by further clarification from NHMRC regarding the process of moving from evidence to recommendations, including greater flexibility in recommendation terminology.
