Intensive community treatments and alternatives to hospitalisation workshop ( virtual)

Join Beat; Professor Ulrike Schmidt and other experts to learn about; discuss and take away practical approaches related to intensive community treatments as alternatives to hospitalisation. Since the pandemic eating disorder hospitalisations have been at an all-time high. Whilst often life-saving; inpatient treatments pose substantial challenges for patients; families and staff alike. Alternatives to in-patient treatment are urgently needed; to either prevent or abbreviate hospital-stays and to promote patient-choice. So what are the alternatives? How good are the outcomes? What is the experience of patients and families? How do treatment models for adolescents and adults differ? What is the role of online or hybrid delivery in this sphere? And what works for who? These and other questions will be explored by our speakers and lived experience contributors.
