Abstract

Reviewed the article by Bond et al., and suggested that the perspective used to frame the issues distorts the nature of the problems we currently face in mental health policy. The conventional evaluative frame is no longer useful in the "inclusionary" system of care that operates. Researchers should study lives, placing programs in the background and putting the person in the foreground.

Nutritional advice for obesity management and health.

Obesity is one of the fastest developing public health problems in the world and is associated with increased risks in morbidity and mortality. Any treatment programme for overweight and obese people should place equal importance on weight reduction and the maintenance of the weight loss. The National Service Framework for Coronary Heart Disease (Department of Health, 2000) identified the vital role of primary care teams in tackling overweight and obesity. The aim of this article is to give a basic overview of some of the issues and principles of weight management in primary care and to ensure nurses are equipped to provide good quality, evidence-based nutritional advice on weight management.
