dc.description.abstractBackground Reducing weight stigma in healthcare is critical to supporting and improving the health of people living with overweight or obesity and decreasing the risk of adverse patient outcomes. We were invited as stigma researchers to participate in an online workshop alongside community members, healthcare professionals and policymakers to codesign guidance for reducing weight stigma in healthcare. This workshop prompted us to reflect on why and how weight stigma should be addressed in healthcare, and to provide recommendations for healthcare professionals and policymakers to reduce weight stigma in healthcare. Objective This paper presents our reflections and recommendations for addressing weight stigma in healthcare following the codesign workshop. Discussion Recommendations include targeting individual healthcare professionals and involving clear, practical guidelines and training that leverage the notions of ?do no harm?, improving practice and recognising biases. Importantly, such strategies must be couched in broader structural approaches to weight stigma reduction. � The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners 2024-
