Eating Disorders in Rural Practice

Enrol

In this course, you will learn how to recognise the signs and symptoms of eating disorders. You will explore how to conduct safe and compassionate assessments, communicate effectively with patients and families, and plan treatment using appropriate referral pathways and resources. Each module follows the case example of a young person from a rural town. This story connects theory to real-world practice and prepares you to support people on their path to recovery.
