HOBS is actively working with regional and national task groups set up to develop and improve the healthcare. We are a part of then teering groups for the national quality registry. And we have an active role regarding the national investments for the prevention work of obesity.
HOBS is very involved in providing Sweden with National guidelines for obesity care. The work is in progress.
HOBS provide Live chat support for different target groups (youth, parents/next of kin, and obese adults or to people close to them). Email and phone support when required. We also have digital support groups that meet via zoom on a monthly basis for people going through or have gone through weightloss surgery. We provide educational material for healthcare and school staff, for patients (young and adults) and volonteers. HOBS have online forums on the platform www.hobs.se, providing a safe and anonymous space for the groups:
1. young people (13-18 year olds) living with obesity
2. parents to kids living with obesity
3. patients who have gone through or are considering going through weightloss surgery
