At Derbyshire Eating Disorders Service, a service user will be referred into the service from their GP or other healthcare professional. If appropriate, an assessment will be offered including completing questionnaires, with the aim to gather information regarding your current difficulties. As a team, we then discuss the assessment and plan how best to support the individual in their recovery. Sometimes we might signpost the individual to other services that may be better suited to meet their needs.
The treatment that is offered will be centred around a specific pathway dependent upon the presenting problem, based on the National Institute of Clinical Excellence Guidelines.
