Professor Vinod Menon has been included as part of an international advisory board focused on bariatric endoscopy and modern obesity treatment.
The advisory board brings together clinicians from several countries, including the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Poland and Saudi Arabia. Members include specialists from leading medical centres such as University Hospital Coventry, University Hospital Southampton, University Medical Centre Mannheim, the American Hospital of Paris and other international institutions.
Professor Menon’s inclusion reflects his growing role in the field of bariatric endoscopy, particularly as newer, less invasive treatment options continue to develop alongside established bariatric and metabolic surgery.
Obesity treatment is changing rapidly. Alongside lifestyle support and medication, patients may now be considered for endoscopic therapies, such as Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty, as well as traditional bariatric procedures. Advisory boards play an important role in sharing experience, reviewing clinical practice and supporting the development of safe, effective treatment pathways.
For patients, this kind of professional involvement is reassuring. It shows that Professor Menon is actively engaged with current thinking in obesity care and is part of a wider international conversation about how best to support patients with complex weight and metabolic health needs.
As bariatric endoscopy continues to grow in the UK and internationally, collaboration between experienced specialists will remain essential. Professor Menon’s role on this advisory board further supports his commitment to evidence-led, patient-focused obesity treatment.
