Webinar Overview: The mainstays of treatment for eating disorders were developed in in 1970-80. It is unfortunately recognised that  a large proportion of people fail to respond  to these treatment however  no enhanced  care pathways have been developed yet. The feedback from those with lived experience is that more personalised forms of treatment are needed particularly for those with some of the diverse comorbidity  that is commonly present.  In this talk I will present some of the new findings from our TRIANGLE study and propose  new pathways of enhanced care.
