Palin Communications worked with client iNova Pharmaceuticals to support the fourth iNova National Obesity Forum (iNOF) and the Doctor on Your Side education campaign.

The campaign highlights the crucial role that doctors can play in helping their patients manage their weight. Obesity expert Professor John Dixon, Head of Clinical Obesity Research at Baker IDI, highlighted results of the Weigh Forward clinical audit to over 300 delegates.

The report showed that GPs can be instrumental in reducing our current national obesity rate. Dr Ginni Mansberg, GP Weight Loss Alliance Ambassador and high-profile GP, also hosted a panel discussion featuring key GP Weight Loss Alliance members from around Australia highlighting barriers and top tips for assisting patients with weight loss issues.

A national media campaign was rolled out off the back of the conference.
