IMPORTANT: The TRS refresh is expected around the 19th August 2026. If you havent already, download your CURRENT TRS. Rather stupidly, BSA dont allow you to access your OLD TRS on the portal.. and HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS didnt have a TRS last year, so if thats you this year, your TRS can dissapear! *Always* download it, check it and store it (email yourself) each year to look for obvious errors

If you understand that obesity medicine is at the core of a rational and effective approach to chronic disease management, it becomes clear that obesity medicine needs to be a core competency of family medicine.
Yet that is not enough. To make this knowledge effective you need funding to support structured supports around the family physician and the patient: behaviour change and lifestyle programs, access to effective pharmacologic therapies, and support for bariatric surgery.
