Caring for bariatric clients often presents complex health challenges. With 1.5 million New Zealanders now classed as obese, today's health professionals and organisations need to understand how best to support the unique requirements of larger people.
We believe by working together with health professionals, carers and whanau, we can make person-centered bariatric care a reality for more New Zealanders. To that end, our clinical team has put together some tools and resources below that we hope you enjoy using.
If you need help finding a bariatric solution for your client or organisation, please contact our experienced team and we'll be in touch.

There are often greater safety risks, particularly around moving and handling. Understanding these and including them in your assessments is critical to keeping everyone safe.
Sadly, there's a lack of quality solutions that are designed specifically to meet the needs of bariatric people. Partner with a solutions adviser you can trust to deliver quality solutions made for bariatric care.
More industry-wide clinical and evidence-based education and training is needed to deliver safe and dignified bariatric care. It's equally important that carers and whanau get the information they need.
Early support from a multi-disciplined team of clinicians is essential to achieving a comprehensive assessment for bariatric individuals, and better health outcomes. We encourage health professionals and organisations to share their experiences and learnings.
