Research

The ‘EATING DISORDER RESEARCH TEAM’ co-chaired by Dr Morgan and Professor Lacey, linking Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders (Leeds), St George’s Eating Disorders Unit (London) and Haldon Eating Disorders Unit (Exeter). The team was launched in 2007 as a new national research network allowing multicentre studies to be carried out within the largest network of inpatient units in the UK.

 

Our research portfolio covers four main thematic areas:

  1. Treatment - We aim to manualise a series of treatment interventions for broader dissemination within the health economy.

  2. Policy development - We are validating care pathways for eating disorders, including identification and management of eating disorders in primary and secondary care.

  3. Physical complications of eating disorders.

  4. Causes of eating disorder
