Presentation at Australia & New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders (ANZAED) 2025 Conference In August, Simone Jaques, Clinical Psychologist, attended the ANZAED annual conference in Melbourne. She presented a poster on her research project, “Transitioning from Paediatric Inpatient to Outpatient Care for Anorexia Nervosa: A Brief Intervention.” The conference provided valuable insights into enhancing care for people living with eating disorders in Northern Sydney. The project was well received, with several NSW Local Health Districts requesting the treatment manual for use in their own services.
NSW Eating Disorder Forum 2025 In July, the NSLHD Eating Disorder Service attended the NSW Eating Disorders Forum where clinicians, researchers, and lived experience experts from across NSW came together to improve care for people with eating disorders. This year’s forum highlighted the issues faced by clinicians and services treating people with severe and enduring/longstanding Anorexia Nervosa. Local and international experts shared best- practice trauma-informed treatment approaches, alongside valuable insights from lived experience experts representing both consumer and carer perspectives. Sessions also highlighted innovative care models across NSW Health, including alternative care pathways outside of the Emergency Department, home-based support, and workforce development. Clinical Nurse Specialists India Wallace and Jessika Hill presented on their roles within providing comprehensive discharge planning and community care navigation to consumers after they are discharged from an inpatient setting.
