But we need to see action now.. families are being torn apart by this illness.. @NadineDorries .. please open up the discussion and not shut it down in the way you did with @HopeVirgo .. a static response that just quotes figures isn't what's needed now.. we need action..

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

Well said...

[The Eating Disorder Insights Podcast @ED_Insights_Pod]

Clinicians.. we can sometimes have a real blinkered view of a person's needs.. we need to step out of our clinical world and go stand where the person is, look around and think..

Please sign and share, this bed shortage is costing lives. People that need crisis care can't access it which leaves community care under strain. So those in the early stages are being left to get worse before services accept their referral. @MattHancock #OnYourWatch

There is not a single eating disorder bed in the country.

This problem predates Covid, but has certainly exacerbated it.

It's not okay to send people, of any age, home to die. That is what is happening now. #eatingdisorders #mentalhealth

We need this recognising and challenging. @beatED @IEDFamSupport @MaarkTaaylor @CAMHSTalk #eatingdisorderrecovery #CAMHS #mentalhealth #childrensmentalhealthweek2021 #mentalhealth #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Look out for this...

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

Cant wait to hear the conversation..

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

We need to support change...

[The Eating Disorder Insights Podcast @ED_Insights_Pod]

This can be the most difficult thing to do.. but many sufferers say it was the best thing that happened to them.. dont be scared.. look after your loved one or friend..

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

Really good question...! Anosognosia is more easily understood as 'denial of the illness'. A common feature of Anorexia Nervosa..

[The Eating Disorder Insights Podcast @ED_Insights_Pod]

Can pressure and stress on services cause them to suffer from anosognosia...? Answers below please..!

[Tom Rebair @TomRebair]

#eatingdisorders can effect anyone, They are fatal, fact! More can be done, more needs to be done. It's s #mentalillness that you can recover from but needs professional services. By cutting services it's causing deaths and all to save few pounds

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

If there are any professionals on here that can answer the question.. please PM us to let us know.. we want to help with this..

[The Eating Disorder Insights Podcast @ED_Insights_Pod]

Have services had to strip so far back that its now just a numbers game? Lives are being put at risk by this...
We need to look at ALL services to find out why.. not just MH but all involved in the whole pathway to treatment..

Yesterday morning at 9am, the bravest person we know, our daughter Eva, finally rested. 12 months and 8 days of fighting - far stronger than anyone I know.

I can’t begin to see how we can ever move forwards. You are always with us, in our hearts and minds, and we love you ❤️ 💔

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

This is an opportunity to share views on whats needed.. clinicians please make contact...

[The Eating Disorder Insights Podcast @ED_Insights_Pod]

Calling all CAMHS and ED Clinicians.. I want to hear from you about your thoughts on the services you provide - both in terms of what you're proud of, what needs to change and if anything gets in the way.. PM me.. I guarantee keep you anonymous if you need that.

[EDSUK @_EDSUK]

Are Eating Disorder services in the UK gridlocked, overstretched and poorly trained? Listen to this fantastic podcast and join the debate! https://t.co/R9uSXp9DZo

[Daniel Howell @danielhowell]
