Everyone complains (justifiably) about NHS IT systems, and how we use a different system for each trust and none of them talk to each other. Any SHO could tell you the pain of trying to get clinic letters from another trust. Why doesn’t every trust just use EPIC and link up?

Congratulations on this publication; really important work which supports our understanding 👏🏼
New #ARFID paper in @JAACAP. Over a prospective 2yr period, 50% of those with ARFID persist with ARFID, and 3% develop AN. Severity in the sensory and interest profiles predicts 1y persistence, whereas severity in the fear profile predicts 2y remission! https://t.co/X58gsE5UMl

‘This is different from picky eating. This is a disorder’ Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder is when someone avoids certain foods, limits their intake or does both. @KrupaPadhyBBC spoke to Lisa, a mother whose son has the eating disorder, and @DrSRanote from @beatED ⬇️
