    For many people, eating disorders are not about food or their body image, but instead develop as a way of coping with other influences in their life.

  • HEALTH PROFESSIONALS

    GP & Health Professionals

    As a GP, you are likely to be the first health professional a person with an eating disorder or carer will come in contact with. A GP’s role in the treatment of eating disorders can include prevention, identification, medical management in a primary care setting and referral (NEDC, 2015).
