Here's what they said...

‘GPs and consultants should do this course as mandatory training. One of the best training courses I have ever attended.’
Kieran Kennedy, Primary Care Mental Health Worker 

‘Totally beneficial. I feel calm and ready to listen without my own fear and anxiety getting in the way.’
Erin O'Connor, fashion model and founder of Model Sanctuary 

‘The trainer made the subject come alive. The day was positively absorbing. It was lively, well presented and I felt I gained enormously from it. I have a better understanding of the theory behind eating disorders and will use this knowledge in my clinical practice.’
