For 2022 Kel is back with her annual EDAW drop in; an opportunity to hear the latest information coming out of the Eating Disorder field and get a few of your questions answered. Given the huge rise in Eating Disorders since the onset of the pandemic its now more important than ever to have some knowledge of the topic.
The national theme for EDAW this year, set by the charity Beat, is “worth more than 2 hours”. The goal is to highlight the shocking reality that most GP’s will have had less than 2 hours training on Eating Disorders. Some of them will have had NO training at all.
During this session with Kel we will think about training standards for Eating Disorders, whether or not you as a talking therapist have had any training, and what problems you might have to face in your work when you attempt to refer clients with (potential) Eating Disorder to their GP for health care and onward referral.
