What information should ED services collect...?🤔

Strap in for insights from early consensus-building activities conducted as part of the EDCRN!👇🧵

The EDGI UK team wishes Eid Mubarak to everyone who celebrates!

High levels of stress can significantly impact eating behaviors, potentially worsening existing eating disorders. It's important to be aware of how stress can influence our relationship with food during #StressAwarenessMonth . If you are struggling, know that help is available.

Really excited for this years #dumpthescales march

Today, we want to highlight #ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), a relatively newly clinically recognised #eatingdisorder , characterised by extreme picky eating, but distinct from other #EDs by its lack of pathological fear of weight/shape gain 1/8

Very powerful piece on BBC Radio 4 Today this morning with Hope Virgo and Rebecca Hilsenrath - much said about support from government (and I think they are sincere) but 'we are not seeing results'; much of the current crisis is due to lack of parity in funding of adult ED services.

Happy World Autism Acceptance Week ♾️

We've got some information on our website that we are hoping will help to inform and empower autistic people struggling with eating disorders, to get them the help and support that they deserve.

Eating disorder recovery takes time.

It won't happen in a day. It won't happen overnight. It's a process and that's okay.

No matter where you are in your recovery journey, we’re here for you. 💜

Easter marks a four-day bank holiday weekend which often involves plans with family and friends, and perhaps with a number of activities centered around food.

Check out our Guide to Easter and Eating Disorders for more tips and advice.

Lovely to join campaigners at the Eating Disorders Awareness Week drop-in today.

Over a million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder but too few are receiving the early intervention support they need.

We must end the crisis in mental health.

Good to join EDGI UK to speak about their research project into eating disorders to better understand treatment for current and future patients. If you think you could have an input visit EDGIUK.org

Hannah Lewis Dr. Nadia Craddock Tom Jewell (He/him) @[email protected] Samantha Hughes SUCH an interesting area; our paper is here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… but was more on defining. I'm keen to explore more on how the concept of personal recovery from MH can apply to EDs (move away from medical?) eg we used the CHIME framework in this paper emerald.com/insight/conten…

With less than 1 month to go, I am so excited to confirm our line up of speakers for this years march:
