Faculty of Eating Disorders Conference 2023

The Faculty of Eating Disorders Conference 2023 will take place on Thursday 2 and Friday 3 November 2023. Biological aspects of eating disorders such as biomarkers, brain stimulation, psychedelics and nutrition will be a central focus of the conference. Additionally, novel aspects of mentalisation-based treatment and new results of recently completed clinical studies will be presented. Workshops will address academic careers in eating disorders, male carers, and art in psychiatry. The conference has confirmation from internationally and nationally established speakers as well as rising stars in the field. Even though the meeting will have a hybrid format and people can attend remotely, it would be great to meet as many professionals working in eating disorders services, trainees, students, service users and carers as possible in person.
