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.
