Thank you @beatED for giving me the opportunity to share my story as a man with Anorexia. It was an absolute honour to speak to #ChristopherEccleston about our experiences. The more we talk, the more people will understand and break these stigmas! #eatingdisorders#BBCLifeline
@OonaHanson@OpenMindMH That's shocking! If the young person can be supported and receive treatment at home is far better than having to move miles away.
.@TomRebair:
'Nobody can see the pain and suffering which goes on inside your head when you have an eating disorder.
Food should be enjoyable, it shouldn't be a fear. It shouldn't make you scared'
We need change. GPs need training. ' #DumpTheScales
'When you come forward with an ED, you need an immediate pathway to recovery, not 'here, we'll put you on a waiting list for two years'. Hope your family can support you in the meantime.🤷♀️'
@TomRebair makes a good point, why do services rely on families to keep people alive?
📣Research call out📣
Have you received treatment for anorexia in an adolescent team within the past 5 years? Have you had experience of your ED being externalised (separated from you)? I'd love to hear your thoughts! Email me [email protected] if you have any questions✨
There is an issue affecting the national 999 call system.
BT is working to resolve this issue as soon as possible but, in the meantime, if you are unable to contact 999 in a medical emergency, please call 111 who will redirect your call.

The lack of understanding around Autism is huge. I've had a lot of experience with this. Putting more training into schools, would be a huge step forward to reduce this issue. Please sign
When @Hollyoaks put on 2 days autism training for all staff it made all the difference. More training than any teacher Ty had ever had. We need more training in schools. #SEND#Autism please sign Paula’s petition. https://t.co/Lh2j7zEZ3c
This was happening 15 years ago when I was held down in a general paediatric ward and no staff member there knew anything about anorexia.
How is this still being allowed to happen NOW??
This is fantastic! 🙌 There are some things, I could complain about with Newcastle. But definitely not the research that goes on and very often not recognised
James Duncan our Chief Executive has been reflecting on the benefits of our collaboration with @NHIPartners has delivered for the people we treat and support, our staff, and the communities we serve.

Heartbreaking that my inbox is full of these msgs
It’s a complete injustice that this is happening to people of all ages w/ eating disorders
We need to keep fighting for proper evidence based treatment so every single person can get the right support!
@emily4993 I couldn't agree anymore! 👏 Also the fact that it's such a 'postcode lottery'. As I've always had fantastic service and I'm very grateful but at same time more upset and frustrated at lack of support in other areas
