No one with an eating disorder is untreatable!

Many people with eating disorders are failing to get timely, high quality care. There is a danger that some will fall under the scope of the Assisted Dying Bill. Young people like Ailidh. @lucianaberger #dyingfortreament youtu.be/7pX_eXFmBWg

Around the world, people with eating disorders have died under assisted dying laws. Ailidh could have been one of them. People like Ailidh need support to live, not assistance to die. It is time to rethink the Assisted Dying Bill. #DyingForTreatment

If assisted dying had been available during the worst of her anorexia, Ailidh might not be here today. Not in a dramatic sense. Literally. Watch the short film I made with Ailidh and eatbreathethrive.org to see the human reality behind the headlines. #Just1or2people

People with eating disorders are already dying on 'palliative pathways' in the NHS. This film shows what could happen if we start making lethal drugs available on the NHS. #DyingForTreatment @wesstreeting youtube.com/watch?v=7pX_eX…

Did you know that only 1% of the UK’s mental health research budget is spent on eating disorders? 😲 That's only £1.13 per sufferer, per year. @ED_CRN want to hear from you about what needs to change + why ED research is so important in this survey👇 qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_1X…

Carolyn was at the @sportschaplain day last week at the Oval Cricket Club. It was so good to connect with other sports chaplains & receive excellent input from @SportingCClinic & @HopeVirgo as they brought insight into the world of addictions, mental health & eating disorders.
