I don't know how schools can possible be expected to manage to deliver this type of provision - I have schools ask about workshops in #eatingdisorders but they need it all fit into a 30minute talk... staff are so swamped.

Eating Disorders in Universities: More Need, Less Capacity Over the past few months, I’ve heard from multiple different universities that they're struggling. Struggling with budget cuts, staffing pressures, student demand, rising levels of need, and the bruta...

Universities are struggling – I know that.
But if we don’t support students with eating disorders now, how many of them will even make it to graduation?

This isn’t just disheartening – it’s dangerous. Tag your uni. #EatingDisorders #University

I'm thinking more and more about how challenging is it for folks to access the #eatingdisorder care they need and how I can support this improving without going broke by offering my services for free (which I obv cant do).... if you have an idea I am all ears?!

It is very lovely reading the voter comments being submitted - thank everyone ! www.nationaldiversityawards.co.uk/awards-2025/...

The Assisted Dying Bill: A Risk We Can’t Ignore in Eating Disorder Care This is a topic I’ve so far held off from writing about - maybe because it feels too heavy for a blog post, too big to capture in a way that does it justice. But the more I sit with it, the more I re...

When people with #EatingDisorders don't get the care they need they are sometimes labeled "beyond help"...and soon they might have access to assisted dying. Read about it in my latest blog post:

#MentalHealth #AssistedDying #SystemicChange

What could this be? #EatingDisorders

Join us tomorrow? #EDAW

Another year has flown by, and it’s time for our annual EDAW Drop-in session with Kel O'Neill @kel-mhb.bsky.social

This year’s theme is “Anyone Can Be Affected by an Eating Disorder,” a vital reminder that eating disorders do not discriminate

Tougher rules on weight loss jabs after people with eating disorders get prescriptions New checks on people wanting drugs such as Wegovy or Mounjaro will include verifying their body mass index in a video consultation, in person, or via GP or medical records.

I'm sure we have been saying this since day 1 #eatingdisorders

Today has been a success - 6 workshops booked, 2 research meetings done, a pop up banner designed and ordered and a new PowerPoint style approved. #SelfEmployed #EatingDisorderProfessional

Children in hospital with eating disorders 'up by 500 per cent' The stark statistics showed that admissions for eating disorders jumped from 478 to 2,938 between 2012 and 2022 - a rise of almost 515 per cent.

For many these figures will come as little surprise - campaigners & clinicians have sounded the alarm bells for years.

Eating disorders are a national emergency.

We must treat them as such, starting by ensuring all front-line health workers are trained to care for patients with an eating disorder.

@werahobhouse.bsky.social I created an online low cost service for people stucki on waiting lists and falling between the cracks. Its not THE answer, but its a helpful resource foe people affected by this issue. Would be happy to chat to you about it. recoverycompanion.counsellingandtraining.co.uk

Call for Oxevision cameras to be banned in mental health patients' bedrooms Former mental health patients are worried camera surveillance is being used without explicit consent.

Reminder that there's no independent research into the physical & psychological safety of digital observation or on the ethics & acceptability of its implementation.
