Eating Disorder Conference

1st February 2008, Fry Club, Keynsham, Bristol

The Eating Disorder conference was held in response to recommendations from the Serious Case Review on Child A, which found the need for staff working with Children and Young People to be more aware of the risks associated with Anorexia Nervosa, and to know who to go to and what to do with concerns.

The conference also introduced the Eating Disorder Integrated Care Pathway that outlines the various roles and responsibilities of agencies involved with children and young people with eating disorders at various stages of the process.

The conference was a huge success and attended by over 70 staff from a wide variety of agencies in Bath and North East Somerset. The presentations from speakers were well received and the conference provided a very good example of effective collaboration in the planning and delivery of the day.

The conference outline, speaker presentations and Eating Disorder Integrated Care Pathway can be found within this section by clicking on the links below.
