Looking for experts by experience to consult on materials (interview themes/questions) for my #DClinPsy #thesis. It will be a qualitative study (similar to this study that @krichar25 and I conducted) looking at prioritisation of waiting lists in eating disorder services.
Do you have #livedexperience of any #eatingdisorder, or are a #clinician working in #eatingdisorderservices? Please volunteer to support our #research investigating what factors people think should be used to prioritise people in services. /1
