Eating Disorders Awareness Week 28th February – 6th March 2022

By

 Eating disorders are devastating mental illnesses that affect 1 in 50 people in the UK.

Eating disorders include bulimia, binge eating disorder, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED), and anorexia

Beat Eating Disorders are the UK’s eating disorder charity. Founded in 1989 as the Eating Disorders Association, our mission is to end the pain and suffering caused by eating disorders.

Recovery from eating disorders is possible, but we rely on our GPs to spot early warning signs that may have nothing to do with a person’s weight or appearance. On average GP’s get less than two hours in their entire medical degree. And a fifth of UK medical schools don’t provide any training on eating disorders at all.

Therefore, Beat Eating Disorder’s 2022 campaign is focused around campaigning for all UK medical schools and foundation programmes to introduce proper training on eating disorders. 

For more information surrounding eating disorders, please visit the Beat Eating Disorders and NHS websites:

Help the NHS understand how you access evidence - complete the survey

By
  NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference. If you can help, please complete this brief survey The survey will close 12 April 2026
