June 2025: BMI Based Treatment Denials
Join me this month for a crucial discussion about how we can fight back against BMI-based treatment denials, including concerns about anaesthetic risk and surgical refusals. We'll explore practical strategies for challenging these discriminatory policies, understanding your rights as a patient, and navigating conversations with healthcare providers who use weight as a barrier to care. This session will provide concrete tools for advocating for yourself or supporting loved ones facing these unjust treatment denials.
My vision is to create a space where weight-inclusive healthcare professionals and Fat people with lived experience come together as equal partners in learning
By weaving together clinical expertise with powerful personal narratives, we foster connections that transcend traditional hierarchies and create a collective wisdom greater than any one perspective alone. In this community, storytellers become teachers, practitioners become students, and together we reimagine healthcare as a realm where every body is treated with dignity, respect, and evidence-based care. Whether you bring professional knowledge, lived experience, or both to our circle, your voice enriches our shared understanding and strengthens our movement for transformative change. Please note that this event is included in Masterclass, Weighting Room, and No Weigh Memberships
