"Shortly after reading Matt Hancock’s article about combatting obesity in yesterday’s paper, I emerged from a café to find my way virtually blocked by an enormously wide, youngish woman in a nurse’s uniform. It was a vivid reminder of a general fact about the National Health Service: many of its staff are fat.
I doubt if there are any statistics on this subject, but perhaps there should be. Mr Hancock wrote that “if you have a BMI [Body Mass Index] of between 30 and 35, your risk of death from coronavirus goes up by at least a quarter”. If you approach most nursing stations in most hospitals, you will see at least one person sitting there who appears to be in this “at risk” category.
That matters, not only for the health of the NHS staff involved, but also for the effectiveness of any anti-obesity campaign. If the public are being urged to lose weight, they will not take the message seriously if they notice that a substantial proportion of those caring for them are not doing so. It reminds me of the days when lots of doctors still smoked.
In his article, the Health Secretary also mentioned “stark inequalities in our nation’s health”. These are apparent within NHS staff. Sightings of fat NHS doctors are definitely unusual these days. Nurses and ancillary staff, on the other hand, are often disproportionately tubby.
Why should this be? My guess is that the NHS, as a collectivity, is not a very health-conscious employer. What sort of food is served to hospital staff? Are they discouraged from eating too many American-style muffins? Certainly most hospital food for patients remains fattening and unappetising. Most hospital public coffee-shops groan under the weight of buns and fizzy drinks.
How extensive are the NHS workplace opportunities for exercise? Are the staff getting (I quote Mr Hancock again) “much more direct communication and support from [their] GP”, including health education about obesity? I suspect hospitals are so dominated by trade unions that if doctors were to tell staff to shape up and slim down, “industrial action” would result"
