Adult Eating Disorders
It is important to comprehensively monitor and manage Eating Disorder patients with a physical health review. This health assessment helps us to identify any physical concerns and helps us to monitor patients' health whilst on the Surrey & Borders Partnership (SABP) AED waiting list.
About The Service
Adults with an eating disorder, who are on the Surrey & Borders Partnership (SABP) AED waiting list, receive a comprehensive physical health review to identify any physical concerns and monitor their health.
Referrals are sent by SABP and patients are booked in by NICS. They're contacted up to three times and should there be no engagement, they are discharged back to SABP.
