The YCED began treating individuals with eating disorders in 1978; it was originally known as the Leeds Eating Disorders Team. It was modernised in 2005 in line with the NICE guidelines. The service has rapidly developed into the largest northern 'eating disorder service', and is at the forefront of innovative research.
We believe that quality of care is dependent on collective commitment and expertise of the Team, including service users and carers. We have a commitment to develop new treatment techniques and actively pursue research interests.
We work in partnership with St George’s Eating Disorders Unit and Haldon Eating Disorders Unit, Exeter.
The YCED is part of the Specialist Services Directorate of Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.
