Welcome to the Metabolic Allied & Health Professional Network (MAHN)

Are you a clinician passionate about metabolic surgery and obesity management? Looking to upskill and connect with like-minded colleagues? You're in the right place!

MAHN was established to cater to the needs of clinicians working in bariatric surgery and all facets of metabolic/obesity management. Our aim is to provide opportunities for our vibrant community of professionals to enhance their skills, exchange knowledge, and forge meaningful connections with peers.

The history of MAHN stemmed from a recognised need for professional development in bariatric surgery and obesity management. In 2019, Kathy Benn, then a board member of ANZMOSS, saw this need firsthand and took action. She spearheaded and lead a team of well regarded experts on initiatives such as the ANZMOSS Integrated Health Roadshow across three states in 2021, and the two-day ANZMOSS IH Professional Development Course in Melbourne in 2023.

Furthermore, Kathy Benn partnered with Shine Dietetics to successfully deliver Bariatric Surgery Nutritional Education in Sydney in 2023, demonstrating a commitment to holistic education and collaboration within the field.

At MAHN, we continue this tradition of featuring expert presenters offering inspiring educational updates specifically tailored to the needs of health professionals working in metabolic surgery and obesity management.

Join us as we come together to raise the standard of patient care by empowering clinicians.
