Currently, eating disorder services do not collect consistent routine data, which means we have limited knowledge of the effectiveness of care.
Funded by us, a new study has identified a standardised dataset to be collected by a clinical research network in the UK, EDCRN (@edcrn.bsky.social). [1/3]

For too long, eating disorders have been misunderstood - it was therefore great to offer an opportunity to improve ED awareness.
