Eating Disorders in History and Time. Real Life, Real Treatment. Followed by Q&A.

Eating disorders and their management have undergone a substantial evolution over the past decade. We will focus on how the diagnosis of Eating Disorder transforms from one into another and how we confidently change our treatment approach across all eating disorders and co-morbidities.
At the end of this session you will:
• Learn what to do with the patient with an eating disorder in your practice
• Gain insight that Eating Disorder diagnosis can change and how
• Understand how MDT approach works: You are not alone!

The importance of Integrated Care in Primary Health for ADHD and Eating Disorders management: treating the whole patient.

It is essential that General Practitioners take the whole patient into account when managing a patient with ADHD. In particular, ADHD and ED frequently co-exist and it is vital that focus on the one does not distract from the screening for and management of the other. This presentation aims to provide GPs with a tool kit for identifying, managing and co-ordinating care for patients with ADHD and ED whilst identifying and addressing barriers to providing that integrated care.

Empowering General Practice in identifying and managing ADHD: Build that personal best in you and your patients.

You will learn how to make preliminary diagnosis of ADHD in General Practice, efficient ways to provide initial management, find suitable psychiatrist, GP, psychologist, coordinate MDT follow up and set up realistic goals for yourself and your patient, so to achieve their personal best.
