Eating disorders information
The web site has been developed by the Eating
Disorders Unit. The aim
of this web site is to ensure that knowledge
about eating disorders from research and clinical centres is available to all those with an interest in eating disorders, whether they have personal experience of an eating disorder, are a friend or relative of someone who does or are a health professional.
If you would like to help further the understanding of eating disorders please join our volunteers database or look at our list of active studies. We are especially keen on finding sets of twins.
The site is structured into 4 main sections:
'Service user' is a term used to describe someone who makes use of health services, in this case for help with an eating disorder. This part of the web site contains information about eating disorders, treatment, recovery and self-care.
This section is aimed at the carers, friends and family of people with experience of an eating disorder. It provides knowledge and skills that will help carers
support someone with an eating disorder.
This has contributions from Professor Janet Treasure which are aimed at
giving health professionals from a variety of disciplines tools to enable
them to work effectively with people with eating disorders.
This has contributions from of the research workers from the IOP and GKT
sites and also from our collaborating centres.
