#WorldChildrensDay "Practice is improving bit by bit, but we have a huge amount of work to do to train health professionals on how to have fruitful, caring conversations with families about growth and obesity" Dr Grace O'Malley @RCSI_Obesity @ICPObesity https://t.co/MB44aPkwWA

[EASO @EASOobesity]

Very challenging supporting patients during a global pandemic, particularly given the reduction in service availability. Without access to the usual support, people living with #obesity have faced real challenges. Check out @AbdTahrani’s slides here and in preceding Tweets

BREAKING: Department of Foreign Affairs staff 'furious' as Leo Varadkar's spin doctor John Concannon 'parachuted' into top job.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 You never have to wait long for another hilarious story from this government! Thank you. 🙏

1: Dail votes Varadkar acted properly in leaking a confidential document to a friend who headed NAGP.
2: Lefty troublemakers ask SIPO to have a look.
3: Govt appoints FF ex-senator, who lobbied for NAGP, to board of SIPO.
So, anything wrong with that?

[ECPO @ECPObesity]

Hopeful news for the thousands of people Living with Obesity in Ireland today

[ICPO @ICPObesity]

Great to see journalists starting to write with no stigmatising photos and factual reporting.
Well done all involved, treatment for people with obesity must be made a priority.

So true

[Mary Lou McDonald @MaryLouMcDonald]

Clothes are essential. Common sense is also essential, though in short supply in FF/FG government.

@ICPObesity @susieb16 @MauraMurphymm @MFwhite8 @BenJWhelan @Catheri51981652 @CharletonDiane @MaherFidelma #LivingWithObesity so sad that both people with obesity & depression have to still face this on daily basis. For quite a few, they live with both. #EndStigmaNow

[ICPO @ICPObesity]

Raising awareness must continue.
Our 1st newsletter and we are grateful to @notandi who produced a fantastic result in such a short space of time.

#UnsealTheArchive #MotherAndBabyHome

[My Name Is Bridget @NameBridget]

BREAKING: The bill to "seal survivors records for 30 years" has been passed. What a shambolic country we live in. Handing records over to the most controversial state agency we have. So sorry to all survivors of the mother and baby homes who fought hard against this. #tuambabies

[paola rivetti @PaolaRivettiDUB]

Can't stop thinking about this quote by Arundhati Roy - that's basically like sealing the #MotherAndBabyHome archives, isn't it?
“There's really no such thing as the 'voiceless'. There are only the deliberately silenced, or the preferably unheard.”

[OPEN (Obesity Policy Engagement Network) @OPENObesity]

51% of our European citizens are already #LivingWithObesity or pre-obesity and deserve better. Let’s move #BeyondPrevention and align with @Europarl_EN by recognising obesity as a chronic, relapsing disease and ensure #AccessToTreatment and management @ECPObesity @EASOobesity

[Ian Patton, PHD @IanPatton55]

We are more than our disease, we are worthy of life, respect, love and all the good in this world. A big step to reducing weight bias is using people first language, starting with ourselves. #LivingWithObesity
