Eating Disorders (ScotFED)
Our Faculty is open to Consultants, Associate Specialists, Staff Grades and Higher Trainees in psychiatry throughout Scotland.
We also encourage core trainees and foundation doctors to attend our meetings. We meet two or three times a year to discuss relevant issues.
Chair: Dr Phil Crockett
New teaching resources
“Eating disorders training for medical students and foundation doctors – how to identify and assess patients with eating disorders” has recently been published on the HEE e-learning for Healthcare website
Please also take a look at a new training video which has been developed about men and eating disorders. The team who developed it now have RCGP accreditation for their training module and asked if ScotFED might be able to use it. They have made a specific link for RCPsych so they can evaluate any feedback they get from it and compare with RCGP feedback.
