Currently, eating disorder services do not collect consistent routine data, which means we have limited knowledge of the effectiveness of care.

With the right support, a life beyond the all-encompassing nature of an eating disorder is possible.
To make this a reality, we need faster, more equitable access to high-quality treatment. We need to understand what works for who and the different factors influencing EDs. We need more investment.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
