Training Course

About the CPD Course

This three-day course begins by giving staff an understanding of the presentation, causes and challenges relating to the range of Eating Disorders including the clinical diagnoses of Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder and Non- Specified Eating Disorders. Building on this foundation, this course then seeks to build the confidence of staff and offer them a broader range of strategies for working with young people experiencing these disorders in particular with a focus on Anorexia Nervosa. This includes options around nutritional management, consideration of physical and psychological needs, and positive support around self-image and self-esteem. It also enables all staff to work constructively with multidisciplinary teams providing medical, psychiatric, psychological and general support in accordance with NICE Guidelines.  In addition, the course looks at the practical management and support given by staff to someone with an Eating Disorder and includes Treatment with nasogastric tubes, (passing a tube and feeding) as well as meal planning and meal support. The course also include practical exercises on taking height and weight measurements and the management of the risk of refeeding. Course only offered in-house for groups and not for individuals.
