Eating Disorders Pathway for Children & Young People – Cheshire & Merseyside Eating Disorder Service – NCCMH
The Cheshire and Merseyside Eating Disorder Service for children and adolescents is a community service with four inpatient beds. The team provides routine medical management with the option of transfer to a dedicated paediatric bed for up to two weeks of intensive medical management, with nasogastric feeding as required. This is undertaken as part of a service level agreement with the paediatric service in Chester, which provides two fortnightly clinics and 16 inpatient weeks per year for intensive medical management.
