On behalf of Ministry of Health, we invite you to do a short survey around management of
childhood obesity designed by Dr Nitin Rajput, Paediatric Registrar and Dr Pat Tuohy, Chief
Advisor, Child and Youth Health at Ministry of Health. The survey will provide the ministry with
information around training and service development needs of primary care physicians caring for
children who are overweight or obese. It will also give important feedback about service availability
and management practices around the country.
The survey is online and would not take more than 10 minute to answer. A link to the survey was sent out in the RNZCGP newsletter, Epulse on 29th January.
The survey link is also on the RNZCGP and GPNZ websites and has also been included below for your convenience.
