Talk Description
I have Patients with a history of eating disorders are frequent attenders to Emergency Departments.
The challenges occurring for physicians are to:
- identify and treat the immediate medical and psychological threats to life.
- manage patients with respect for their autonomy whilst acknowledging their decision making is impacted by low BMI and associated mental health disorders
- understanding your duty of care when the patients are declining admission/treatment that we believe to be in their best interest.
These are covered in this presentation in addition to looking forward to your questions and interaction in the session.
