A valuable read from @ameaustin.bsky.social and @karina-maudsley.bsky.social on the importance of collecting routine outcome measures in eating disorders - and the potential of this to tranform care for individuals affected 🫶🏻🤍
🔬This week’s journal club ➡️ Our co-principal investigator, Dr Karina Allen, recently published this paper on why routine outcome measurement is key in the eating disorders field.

Currently, eating disorder services do not collect consistent routine data, which means we have limited knowledge of the effectiveness of care.
Funded by us, a new study has identified a standardised dataset to be collected by a clinical research network in the UK, EDCRN (@edcrn.bsky.social). [1/3]

For too long, eating disorders have been misunderstood - it was therefore great to offer an opportunity to improve ED awareness.
