Listen "The Conveners - Dr Hussain talks about GLP-1"
Episode Synopsis
Who better to talk to about the hottest topic, not just in our sector but in society in general, the GLP-1 weight loss medications, than friend of the Conveners, Dr Hussain Al Zubaidi. Hussain is working with UK Active and CIMSPA on the guidelines for our sector so Elaine and I were keen to get his take on the opportunities these medications present and how best we can assist the NHS. Future Fit are also working with Hussain on the educational resources that our sector absolutely requires in order to safely and effectively support people who are on these drugs. This is a fascinating interview, that will inspire you I’m sure as well as answer some of your questions on these drugs more generally. Hussain sees these drugs as the gateway for the physical activity sector to really work with health and he explains why and how he sees that happening. We also discuss how we need to continue to focus on workforce development, quality standards, the use of technology and to exhibit empathy n our approach to not just these drugs but to people’s circumstances and build on our strengths to support the NHS as they need to like never before! A fascinating discussion that I know you will enjoy.
