Childhood Obesity eLearning (RCSI)
Childhood obesity affects around 80,000 children and adolescents in Ireland (8% of the population) and these children are at greater risk of health complications during childhood and into adulthood. Currently treatment for obesity is only available from CHI Temple Street. These modules aim to empower you to feel more confident around working with these children. Members can enroll to access the free course and earn up to 5 CPD points (awarded from RCSI). The course consists of a 1-hour core/basic module followed by 4 more hours of advanced modules. The advanced modules are coming on line next week. Members should visit www.childhoodobesity.ie and enroll via the training section.
