Weighing scales and tape measure

Grand Rounds – Are weight loss injections the solution to the obesity crisis?

Tuesday 1 July, 12.00-13.00

Seminar rooms 9 and 10, Mayo Building, Salford Royal

Join us for a lively and thought-provoking debate on one of the most pressing questions in modern medicine: Are weight loss injections the silver bullet for tackling the obesity epidemic?

Two leading voices in obesity care go head-to-head:
Professor Akheel Syed (consultant endocrinologist) makes the case for GLP-1-based pharmacotherapy as a game-changing, scalable intervention.
Professor Bilal Alkhaffaf (bariatric surgeon) challenges this view, arguing for the enduring role of surgery and the need for a more holistic approach.

Expect data, clinical insights, controversy — and your chance to weigh in.
Who’s right? You decide.
