Tips on supporting adults with eating disorders

These tips have been developed for professionals working with adults and older people across health care; from primary care to hospital general services through to mental health teams and specialist adult eating disorder services.

They have been created and evolved from MindEd's parallel tips on supporting children and young people with feeding problems and eating disorders. Extracts from the MEEDs are included with permission courtesy of the MEEDs team.

The four tip sheets below provide you with quick access learning on feeding and eating disorders in adults.
