TRAINING PROGRAMME FOR HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS

Tier 1 training:

Join SYEDA for a focused 90-minute training that builds confidence in recognising eating disorders, responding with sensitivity, and guiding people toward the right support.

Grounded in lived experience and evidence-based practice, this session equips healthcare professionals to respond with empathy, clarity, and strong clinical understanding—within their scope of practice.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Recognise the signs of eating disorders and disordered eating

  • Identify key risk factors, including psychological, physical, social, and cultural influences

  • Understand why early intervention matters

  • Recognise clinical risk indicators and know when urgent action is required

  • Explore how body image, body respect, and societal pressures contribute to eating disorders

  • Understand the relationship between neurodiversity and disordered eating

  • Approach vulnerable individuals with confidence and navigate clear referral and signposting pathways

  • Appreciate the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and when to involve other professionals

Designed for healthcare professionals, this training uses clinically relevant language and focuses on early identification, risk awareness, professional boundaries, and appropriate escalation and referral within health systems.
