A paediatric obesity clinic successfully conquered the restrictions enforced by COVID-19, empowering children and families to tackle the complexities of obesity from their own home. A multidisciplinary team including a Multicultural Health Worker, Dietitian, Clinical Nurse Consultant, Physiotherapist and Psychologist, delivered culturally tailored and family-centred care via telehealth to address nutrition, physical activity, sleep, screen time and family connectedness. Patient engagement with the service was maximised with the provision of an obstacle course kit promoting physical activity and cooking demonstrations to improve nutritional intake.
