Service Description

We are the Community Eating Disorder Service for children and young people up to 18 years old, available Surrey-wide.

We assess and treat young people with eating disorders including:

• Anorexia Nervosa
• Bulimia Nervosa
• Binge Eating Disorder
• Other specified Feeding or Eating Disorders
• High Risk Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID)

We are accredited with QNCC-ED (Quality Network for Community Eating Disorder Services for Children and Young People).

We are a multi-disciplinary team providing assessments and community treatment programmes with evidenced-based treatments, and we have excellent links with the adult eating disorder service and inpatient services.

Support criteria

Children and young people who have, or are suspected of having, an eating disorder. We are commissioned to see children and young people who experience Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorders and high risk ARFID.

At assessment, we establish if the young person meets the criteria for an eating disorder. If they are diagnosed with an eating disorder we will then provide treatment.

Requests for support

We offer self referrals from parents/carers or young people themselves please contact us directly to make a self referral (please note that a parent/carer needs permission to self refer for anyone over 16years old). Please call us on 01372 216 633. We will need an up to date weight and height to be able to triage a self referral.

A professional can also create a request for support. If you are a professional, visit the request support page to find out more information on how to do this.

If you work for Surrey and Borders Partnership NHS Foundation Trust please follow the consultant-to-consultant request for support procedure.

We require a weight and height for referral.

There is no minimum weight restrictions to access our service, and it is no longer recommended for GPs to "watch and wait" but to refer for early intervention.

Once we receive the request for support you will be offered an assessment.
