The quality and accessibility of inpatient treatment needs much more attention. It is an important step in the care pathway for the most severely ill.

@scousepie @jamesldowns We need to change the language. 🙏🏻 We are dealing with a potentially life threatening condition, that predominantly affects young people or people of working age.

Many stories confirmed yesterday that the wish to die is temporary and people are grateful for support to recover.

[James Downs @jamesldowns]

Indebted to the wonderful @AgnesAyton as an example of a clinician who is able to hold compassion with courage, expertise with humility, ambition for excellence with pragmatism… and so much more. Thank you for everything you do as a true advocate for patients.

People can benefit from intensive CBTE regardless of length of illness. This is consistent with our findings. https://t.co/vu2UEsGWO1

@EDACautism_ED @eatsleeplaugh I would love to help support as someone who has battled anorexia for 13 years and only last year at the age of 23 receiving an autism diagnosis. It did save me.

I am marching for #dumpthescales because ...💙⬆️ please watch video as it’s important.
There is always hope that whatever the situation, length of time the person has been unwell for you can get better.

“Eating disorders should not be a life sentence but because of the decades of underfunding, decades of stigma and decades of no training we are now in a space where eating disorders are being neglected.”

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

Last night I was so pleased to host the launch of the exhibition in Parliament of the campaign to secure government funding & policy programme to tackle eating disorders, which are the cause of such suffering. ⁦@HopeVirgo⁩ & several speakers set the agenda for what’s needed

[Gerome Breen @psychgenomics]

Earlier this even in our Westminster exhibition about the Unheard Stories of Eating Disorders @AgnesAyton on how good versus bad treatment can result in a postcode lottery -and how even the most complex patients can recover.

@m_twitchell23 @HopeVirgo @OxfordHealthNHS @DavidViljoenED This is why we work in this field!

When we say patients have an "enduring" illness, have we thought about what that word really means? Do eating disorders really have "stages"? And is there a middle way between change-focussed therapy & resigning to so-called "untreatable" illness?

So inspired by the #DumpTheScales exhibition in Parliament.
Now is the time for more investment in #EatingDisorder care, services and research if we are to help save lives now and in the future.

Delighted to have contributed to this important awareness raising event. We can make a difference by working together @HopeVirgo @psychgenomics @DavidViljoenED @m_twitchell23 @sensinglorna

Amazing to see the work being done by @HopeVirgo for the continued fight for more funding with for people going through an eating disorder. Just a reminder that eating disorders can happen to anyone weather your a Man, Women, Boy, Girl. Immediate action needs to happen and funding needs to be put in place to help these vulnerable individuals. They need help and and healthcare services need help. Calories on menus need to be strapped immediately aswell. It’s a disgrace that the government think it’s a good idea. When will @RishiSunak speak out! Enough is enough people are tired and need to be heard! Life’s need to be saved and action needs to be taken! @JeffStelling @JamesRoffey88 @MentalHealthGov @EDResearch_UCL @Conservatives

This is so important! No one with an eating disorder is untreatable we just need to find the treatment that works for them!

A date for your diary!! Please share far and wide! And come and support us in Parliament!
