Description
Summary:[...]though, most cases are managed by outpatient eating disorder teams alone, even when very low weight. Widely used, Junior MaRSiPAN principles have changed the language of referral relating to the physical health of young people with eating difficulties across physical and mental health. Most were treated by community teams, but for the most unwell, there are 230 beds for under-18s in specialist eating disorder units (SEDUs) in England (unpublished NHS England data) which are staffed by specialist psychiatry, therapy and dietetics. While they keep young people safe, they remove them from their families, schools and friendship groups to do this, often far away from home due to bed availability, and should be reserved for the most challenging cases where management at home with community support is not possible.
