About this event

Date: Nov 20, 2023

Time: 03:00 PM AEDT

There are increasing numbers of patients with chronic, longstanding Anorexia Nervosa. The label ‘severe and enduring anorexia nervosa’ (SE-AN) has been applied to those with variously more than 5, 6, 7, and 10 years of illness. Many patients do eventually recover and, even where this is not the case, adaptive medical stability and function can be maintained. Supporting patients with SE-AN to have the best outcome physically and psychologically will be discussed in this webinar.
