Eating Disorders

The Adelaide Primary Health Network Eating Disorders Community of Practice is dedicated to supporting professionals working with body image concerns, disordered eating, eating disorders, and related issues in metropolitan Adelaide. Our community brings together a diverse range of mental health and health practitioners with a professional interest in these areas. We aim to foster connection, provide support, and facilitate professional development in eating disorders. Our meetings offer the opportunity to share experiences and best practices, discuss case studies, stay updated on the latest research and treatment approaches, and develop professional networks within the field. The Australia & New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) has endorsed the Adelaide PHN Eating Disorders Community of Practice meetings as an approved continuing professional development activity for the Eating Disorder Credential. Participants can count up to 2 hours per year toward their Credential requirements.

The network meetings provide a forum for practitioners all over Australia, to get professional development, connect, build relationships, provide peer support and improve referral pathways. The network aims to meet quarterly, and network meetings consists of presentations, guest speakers, case discussions and peer support.
