Eating disorders and pregnancy: Developing training for healthcare professionals

What is the purpose of the research?

We are a small team of researchers from King?s College London and we are developing a training film about eating disorders for health professionals who care for pregnant women and new mothers. We want to include information about eating disorders and advice on how best to support women during this time. We need the help of mothers of young children who have experienced eating disorders in the past to help us develop the content of the film.


Who can take part?

We are inviting mothers who have previously experienced eating disorders to share their experiences of pregnancy and postnatal care with us. We also want to consult with maternity healthcare professionals who have experience of supporting women who have had eating disorders: if you know anyone who might like to get involved, please ask them to contact Amanda.


What does the study involve?

You can share your experiences by either attending a short workshop in London during August or September, or by email, or by telephone. If you choose to attend the workshop, we will reimburse your travel expenses and provide refreshments.


How can you take part?

If you are interested in coming to the workshop or contributing by email or phone, please contact project coordinator Amanda Bye to find more.

    • There was a competition to name the old Uplands when it was taken over by the person  who owned the Bishop,  and "The Actress" won for obvious reasons 🤣 The Foresters was vile (in my opinion). I'm interested that there are still problems with the smell from the Gents, because in the Foresters days you could smell it as soon as you went in, and my memory is that  it felt like you were squelching your way over the carpet, though I'm sure that can't have been true 🤣  
    • I had to phone King's this morning. The first thing you get is a recorded message saying basically that norovirus (I can't remember the exact words) is everywhere at the moment, and please don't come to the hospital if you have symptoms. I would strongly suspect that anybody with sickness and/or diarrhoea at the moment is very much more likely to have caught norovirus or similar than to have got food poisoning from an ice cream. Like COVID, one person in the family can easily get it first, and doesn't necessarily pass it on to the others, especially if they take appropriate precautions. I am very tempted to ask if it was vegan chocolate flavoured ice-cream, but I will resist. Oh, I can't 🤣 I hope your son gets better soon
