A deeper understanding

This training helps you translate theoretical knowledge about eating disorders into practice. This includes understanding the
eating spectrum and diagnostic nuances, screening and clinical assessment, medical risks and red flags (starvation syndrome,
re-feeding syndrome) and the importance of multidisciplinary care. We cover evidence-based treatments, including assessing what is indicated, working with motivation, and building resources. We also explain Medicare's Eating Disorder Treatment Plan and
the National Eating Disorder Credential.

Reflect and discuss

This is live CPD where you will engage deeply with the content through discussion and role play, and be encouraged to ask questions. You will be learning alongside your peers and sharing your knowledge and experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
