This month's focus is on NUTRITION, and in part 1 ‘Eating Disorders’ our special guest is Nick Pollard, director of Family Mental Wealth and co-author of The Oxford Specialist Handbook on Eating Disorders.
Family Mental Wealth is a government-funded social enterprise co-founded by Dr Elizabeth McNaught (an NHS doctor) and her parents Nick & Carol Pollard. Dr Elizabeth McNaught and her parents have first hand experience of the struggles of raising a teenager with an eating disorder, and it is through this experience that Family Mental Wealth was born, with its mission to play a significant role in radically transforming mental health provision for children and young people through digital tools to facilitate family-based self-help, appropriately integrated with educational and clinical support.
The Oxford Specialist Handbook on Eating Disorders, published in 2022 and authored by Nick Pollard, Dr Elizabeth McNaught and Professor Janet Treasure (world-renowned expert on the subject with a lifetime’s experience in specialist care) has lead to the creation of Eating Disorders: eLearning for Health Professionals Course, in association with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
Presented by Dr Elizabeth McNaught and Professor Janet Treasure, the course is designed to help Health Professionals play their part by developing a foundational understanding of the nature, presentation and diagnostic criteria of different types of eating disorders. It also introduces an understanding of related comorbidities and complications, including medical emergencies as covered in the Royal College of Psychiatrists MEED guidelines. Soft tissue therapists who complete the course will be equipped to play an appropriate role in supporting specialist treatment, through their own day-to-day clinical work.
Complete access to whole course is £75, but as mentioned in the podcast there is a 50% discount code for STA members, for the first 100 members who contact us with their STA number. For details, email: gary@thesta.co.uk .
