This is a detailed case study for clinicians to describe how to implement integrated CBTE in the whole care pathway. The approach can transform lives and save cost to the NHS by preventing relapse โฆDavid Viljoenโฉ โฆLorna Collinsโฉ jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11โ€ฆ

What a brilliant paper! All patients with eating disorders deserve models that have been tested in real world setting that offer integrated, individualised treatment which offers improved outcomes. Fantastic work ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿฝ please share.

In this article I am a clinical case study, demonstrating how the I-CBTE model works, where other 'care' failed me. This detailed examination of my illness is disconcerting, but it's so reassuring to read about an approach that saves lives. Roll this out. doi.org/10.1186/s40337โ€ฆ

Please read the additional lived experience accounts in the paper. It is possible to help people with long standing & severe anorexia even after decades of illness. That is why I am concerned about the MAID legislation- the risk of unintended consequences is high.

Here are 10 reasons why I-CBTE is truly integrative and has achieved 70% recovery rates for adults with complex, longstanding eating disorders in the NHS. See our latest case study paper with insights from 3 unique recovery journeys

See our latest paper. rdcu.be/dYM07 We hope this will offer a model for clinicians and managers to enhance existing treatment frameworks and transform the trajectory of those traditionally deemed resistant to treatment.

See our latest paper. rdcu.be/dYM07 We aim to offer a framework to integrate medical, psychological and social care in an integrated formulation and treatment plan.

In line with the latest evidence, we prefer to treat co-morbidities simultaneously and in-house rather than sequentially or in parallel. rdcu.be/dYM07

All relevant physical and medical diagnoses and treatments need to be considered as it may reciprocally impact on a patientโ€™s eating disorder and therefore hamper recovery if omitted from the formulation and treatment plan. rdcu.be/dYM07

Chuffed that integrated CBT is included in the Beat report for intensive community & day treatment. Seamless integrated care across the care pathway has better outcomes for eating disorders. Confirmed by our latest I-CBTE paper. jeatdisord.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11โ€ฆ beateatingdisorders.org.uk/about-beat/polโ€ฆ

We have a hidden epidemic of eating disorders. 75% of young women and 50% of young men affected NHS England Transformation The demographic is changing. Only 15% known to GPs And <5% have access to treatment.

Anorexia Myths James Downs Itโ€™s only been the past yr, that I have reflected on the fact that I was admitted to our local hospice in 2010 for end of life care, suffering Anorexia nervosa, I am now recovered and now want to help others,my story could be a warning, it could have ended up so different

I gave evidence to the APPG on eating disorders which launches a new report today. The failures in care are stark. How many more years do we have to call for change before there is meaningful action? APPG Report The Right To Health yumpu.com/en/document/reโ€ฆ
