Today is the first ever ARFID AWARENESS DAY - thanks to @ArfidUk for all their work.

Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (aka ARFID) is an eating disorder which lacks awareness and understanding. There are currently no treatment guidelines for it which means that services/pathways are not commissioned for treating it. Too often people with ARFID often don’t receive the care they need and deserve.

A core reason for this is the lack of research establishing effective treatments, though there is some evidence showing adapted treatments for anorexia and a variety of psychological interventions may be helpful.

Today is a landmark occasion for ARFID. The more we shout that people with ARFID deserve better, the more people that know about ARFID, the more awareness that is raised and the more likely we are to be heard.

The vast majority thought seizure and quality of life outcomes were most important to measure in research studies to improve treatments, specifically seizure freedom.

Nope, mental health, language, communication and cognition were also important.

Early #epilepsy surgery?

A huge part of designing studies that push boundaries is incorporating views of patients and carers. Delighted to be able to do this with @PESAlliance @Rachel_Batch @GOSH_NeuroSurg @DNP_ICH and @OmarSalim_5!

The early #epilepsysurgery story continues…

Encouraging that >50% of UK clinicians would refer children with visible MRI lesion before drug resistance and >75% would refer children to a trial of early surgery

We’re celebrating today because the new NICE epilepsy quality standards say that children and young people should be asked about their mental wellbeing and learning at their epilepsy appointments. #OnTopOfEpilepsy #UnderstandMyEpilepsy
