Improving care for autistic people of all ages with eating disorders and disordered eating

Autistic children, young people and adults (as well as those that may be autistic) are at higher risk of developing eating disorders and/or disordered eating than non-autistic people. They are also at higher risk of having worse outcomes and negative experiences of services offering treatment for eating disorders and/or disordered eating and receiving more intensive services.  

This webinar, led by the National Autism Team at NHS England, will highlight draft guidance around eating disorders and disordered eating. It will cover the necessary background and terminology. It will also cover considerations around recognition, formulation, treatment and support, accessible service design and reasonable adjustments, and family and carer involvement with an aim to improve outcomes. 

The webinar is essential for programme managers, service leaders, clinicians, and anyone committed to improving the care for autistic children, young people and adults with eating disorders and disordered eating.  

For any further information please contact england.autismteam@nhs.net. 

A joining link to the webinar will be sent to all delegates prior to the event.
