Eating Disorders in Scotland - A Patient's Guide (PDF, 202K, 29secs)
About this Guide
Eating Disorders in Scotland is a report produced by NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) which makes recommendations for identification, management and treatment of eating disorders in adults, adolescents and children. The recommendations were developed by a group of healthcare professionals and public partners from across Scotland. This report covers the care of people with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or other related (or ‘atypical’) eating disorders (mainly binge eating disorder). In general, eating disorders develop over time, sometimes over years, and often at a point when life brings fear and insecurity. The information that follows tells you about the content of the NHS QIS recommendations. A glossary is included at the end.
This document is largely based on the National Institute for Clinical Excellence 2004 document ‘Understanding NICE guidance: a guide for people with eating disorders, their advocates and carers, and the public’. NHS QIS is grateful to NICE for their kind permission to use this material.
