The camp aims to cover all aspects of obesity ranging from epidemiology and public health to cell biology, energy regulation, clinical management and health policy. The Canadian Obesity Network – Réseau canadien en obésité (CON-RCO) is a broad network of over 10,000 organizations and individuals from many sectors and disciplines who are committed to stemming the tide of obesity in Canada and to reducing the mental, physical and economic burden of obesity on Canadians. The mission of CON-RCO is to act as a catalyst for addressing obesity in Canada and to foster knowledge translation, capacity building, and partnerships among stakeholders so that researchers, health professionals, policy makers and other stakeholders may develop effective solutions to treat, and to prevent obesity. CON-RCO’s three strategic goals are to: 1) Address the Social Stigma Associated with Obesity; 2) Change the Way Professionals Think about Obesity and Interact with Obese Individuals; 3) Improve Access to Obesity Prevention, Treatment and Management. Since 2006, CON-RCO has trained over 8,000 health professionals, students, policy makers and industry stakeholders on issues relevant to obesity prevention and management, launched two widely used literature alerting services, published an award-winning magazine (CONDUIT), organized Canada’s only recurring scientific conference dedicated to obesity, and much more. CON-RCO is a non-profit organization hosted by the University of Alberta and Alberta Health Services in Edmonton, Alberta. Find out more at www.obesitynetwork.ca. The University of Alberta is one of Canada’s leading research-intensive universities, increasingly being recognized as a leader in the area of obesity. Currently, over 50 individuals from a variety of faculties are conducting research relevant to obesity.

However, today there is widespread acknowledgement that the management of cultural heritage resources needs to be brought into large-scale planning and management processes in an integrated and holistic manner. This is particularly true in protected areas, which not only contain significant cultural heritage resources, but are also often mandated to conserve these resources and can benefit significantly from the effort.

Describe the role that clinicians have in pre- and post-bariatric surgery care. 2. Identify new tools and evidence for assessing and supporting bariatric surgery patients throughout the bariatric surgery process. 3. Apply medical, nutrition and psychosocial protocols and interventions that improve patient outcomes after bariatric surgery. Abstract: Bariatric surgery is recognized as an effective and durable treatment for severe obesity; however, bariatric and primary care teams require awareness and skills to manage the myriad of pre- and post-operative concerns. Pre-surgery concerns consist of bariatric surgery readiness assessment, surgical risks and psychosocial stability. Further, patients require additional assessment and intervention after surgery, including early recognition of bariatric surgery complications and evidence-informed psychosocial interventions to maintain weight loss and health benefits long-term. This full-day workshop will provide participants with an integrated interprofessional approach to bariatric surgery assessment and aftercare.
