National Audit of Eating Disorders (NAED)

The National Audit of Eating Disorders (NAED) is a new audit programme commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnerships (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP) on behalf of NHS England.

The audit programme will run from August 2024 to July 2027. The overarching quality improvement objectives focus on key areas of quality care namely that services are safe, effective, patient centred, timely, efficient and equitable.

By collecting, linking, analysing and reporting data on eating disorders access and treatment, the NAED seeks to drive improvement of the identification and appropriate management of eating disorders and the quality and consistency of services for children and young people (CYP), adults of working age and older adults.
