A recent report from the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Eating Disorders calls for mandatory training for nurses due to a rise in the prevalence of such illnesses. The report also raises concerns over patients being discharged with dangerously low body mass index (BMI) scores and calls for a new national strategy on eating disorders. The latest Nursing Standard podcast focuses on eating disorders, specifically the issue of nasogastric feeding under restraint, the associated legal and emotional challenges, and the effect on nurses, patients and their families.
