Since we launched this campaign, we have contacted all medical schools in the UK to assess whether they are delivering effective education on eating disorders to their students and support them to make improvements. We have published a full definition of “effective training on eating disorders” which was developed alongside clinicians from medical schools, future doctors and our Clinical Advisory Group – you can view this here.
Below is a summary of the training delivered by UK medical schools. Please note that this is our understanding of training offered, which is based on information supplied to us by medical schools.
*If we receive new information, we will update this list accordingly.
