7th Irish National Eating Disorders Conference

Booking and more information under the link: www.conferencenetworking.ie

Eating Disorders far too often develop quickly into chronic, unremitting patterns of behaviour and thinking that can have a devastating impact on individuals and their families. For the 7 th Irish National Eating Disorders Conference, in conjunction with BODYWHYS, we are pleased to welcome three wonderful speakers (from England and The Netherlands) with a wide range of expertise, both clinically and from a research perspective. The focus of their presentations will be on how early intervention programmes can be utilised in the treatment of eating disorders. There will also be additional presentations from local Irish researchers/clinicians – details to follow.
