Eating Disorders Training for Health and Care Staff (e-learning)

Target Audience/Eligibility Criteria

This learning will be beneficial for all health and care staff. There are separate modules for the GP and Primary Care workforce, Nursing workforce and Medical Students & Foundation Doctors.

Course Overview

This series of training programmes was developed in response to the 2017 PHSO investigation into avoidable deaths from eating disorders as outlined in recommendations from the report titled Ignoring the Alarms: How Eating Disorder Services Are Failing Patients (PHSO, 2017).

It is designed to ensure that healthcare staff are trained to understand, identify and respond appropriately when faced with a patient with a possible eating disorder.

It is the result of collaboration between eating disorder charity Beat, Health Education England and NHSE.

Dedicated to the memory of Averil Hart and everyone else who has died unnecessarily from an eating disorder, it is our hope that this will be a significant step to ensure that avoidable deaths from eating disorders are consigned to the past.

Course Duration

These sessions vary in timescales – dependent on the module, they range between approximately 20 – 60 minutes to complete and can be completed at the learner’s own pace.
