A new learning Hub for health and care professionals featuring tips and resources on feeding and eating disorders in children, young people and adults is now available within the NHSE MindEd mental health eLearning programme.

The new All Ages Feeding and Eating Disorders Hub also includes resources on eating disorders in under-served populations such as men, minoritised ethnic groups, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people with diabetes and many more.

MindEd has also developed new tips on feeding and eating disorders (FEDs) in adults.

The new tips, aimed at healthcare professionals in primary care, hospital, mental health and specialist adult eating disorder services, feature 4 tips sheets on the following topics:

What to be aware of – raising your awareness of FEDs and promoting earlier recognition
What to look for – helping you to spot signs and symptoms early
Medical investigations – this will be most relevant to GPs and other medical professionals assessing and supporting patients with FEDs
What to do – top tips on what to do with and for adults (18 years and over) with different FEDs.

eLearning on a range of mental health support including anti-bullying, adverse childhood experiences and top tips for education staff, can be found on the MindEd programme page.
