A huge congratulations to our Eating Disorders Service who have been shortlisted at this year’s HSJ Awards.

We are delighted to share that our Eating Disorders Service (TEDS) has been shortlisted for the Health Service Journal (HSJ) award in the Reducing Inequalities and Improving Outcomes for Children and Young People Award category.

Their entry focused on the ‘Nourish to Flourish Project’ which aimed to transform the lives of children and young people with avoidant/ restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) in Solihull TEDS Team. ARFID is an eating disorder where food intake is restricted to the extent that it can lead to severe physical and mental complications.

The TEDS team is shortlisted for their work to co-develop and implement an innovative ARFID pathway that has been successful in early identification and effective intervention for those with ARFID and their families. They’ve transformed what was an isolating and distressing experience of care to one of hope and optimism, improving life chances for this group.

The team will present their entry to the judging panel on Monday 7 October and the HSJ Awards will take place in London on Thursday 21 November.
