    About us

    Eating Disorders are extraordinarily complex illnesses that present with abnormalities in physical and psychological functioning. The physical complications have the potential to cause permanent damage and in some cases are life threatening. The causes are complex and multi-factorial, including genetic, neurodevelopmental and environmental influences. They require a comprehensive treatment programme including medical, psychiatric, psychological, social and educational interventions.

    The service admits patients whose illness requires more intense levels of clinical involvement and nursing. patients often require treatment under mental health legislation. The aims of the services are to improve the patients health and dependency needs sufficiently for transfer to a regular eating disorder unit or to the community. The treatment programme can include naso-gastric (NG) tube feeding and for some of our most unwell patients, this is sometimes required under restraint (if necessary, once all other avenues have been exhausted). In these cases, the service goes a long way to promote advocacy for the patient, their rights, seek their involvement and apply least restrictive interventions.
