Who We Are
We are an online clinic devoted to the care of people with overweight and obesity.
The principal specialist consultant physician involved is Dr. Brendan Hanrahan, MBBS FRACP. It was suggested to Dr. Hanrahan just before starting in his advanced specialist physician training that the overweight have specific healthcare issues, but that were no clinical specialist physicians focusing on their needs comprehensively.
Paying particular attention to those aspects of care whilst getting advanced multiple sub-specialties hospital-based training resulted in recognised expertise. That skill has been further developed over the last two decades by:
- attending numerous international conferences in the area,
- meeting, talking and sitting in with leading world experts in their clinics,
- keeping up with the latest literature and innovations, and
- seeing thousands of patients - each with their unique situation.
As a specialist general physician-based service, we consider how all conditions interact with each other to affect the individual, their life and their therapeutic options.
Our goal is to promote health and well-being throughout the lifespan. In this case, primarily by weight reduction.
Why online?
Face-to-face care can be inefficient. By focusing on the critical areas that make real, sustainable differences in a particular group of patients, the goal is to streamline the process to enable more people to be helped. Decades of experience with thousands of people have enabled this thorough, yet simplified, process.
