Join internationally recognised researcher and clinician Professor Tracey Wade for a practical and evidence-based webinar focused on the assessment and treatment of eating disorders.
Designed for psychologists, paediatricians, dietitians, psychiatrists, counsellors, and other mental health professionals, this session will explore what the research tells us about effective approaches to both assessment and treatment. Professor Wade will offer guidance on maximising good outcomes by applying evidence-based strategies in clinical settings.
A key focus will be on the ED-15, a brief and effective tool for sessional outcome monitoring in eating disorder treatment. Attendees will gain practical insights into integrating this measure to support better outcomes.
