Care and treatment of eating disorders - national specification: consultation

Development of the Specification

Through the work of the National Review of Eating Disorder Services Implementation Group, a working group was established to take forward the development of the Specification. The Working Group consisted of a wide range of clinicians, academics, healthcare professionals and people with lived/living experience who offered their professional and personal expertise. The Group developed the Specification using current research evidence and the feedback gathered by the National Review of Eating Disorder Services during which people with lived/living experience were engaged extensively.

In addition, an Eating Disorder Lived Experience Panel has been established, following Recommendation 4 of the National Review of Eating Disorder Services, which has also provided feedback via Panel discussions.
