By working with people with lived experience, the @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social team has uncovered what matters most to patients.

This will enable the EDCRN to collect meaningful data based on bio-psychosocial variables, so that more effective & tailored treatments can be developed. [2/3]

Currently, eating disorder services do not collect consistent routine data, which means we have limited knowledge of the effectiveness of care.

Funded by us, a new study has identified a standardised dataset to be collected by a clinical research network in the UK, EDCRN (@edcrn.bsky.social). [1/3]

💙 Theme 4: Doing no harm. The treatment process should help, not overwhelm or shame patients. The EDCRN platform allows participants to complete questionnaires in their own time, at their own pace.
July 25, 2025 at 5:09 PM
💙 Theme 2: A holistic approach. The EDCRN understands that eating disorders are a biopsychosocial condition, so we collect data on psychological, social and physical factors like trauma, autism, health conditions, weight stigma and food insecurity.
July 25, 2025 at 5:09 PM
💙 Theme 1: A mutually valued and beneficial collaboration. The data collected by ED services should be meaningful & help patients and others involved, so the EDCRN collects information, like waiting times, distance travelled for treatment, which patients have highlighted as issues.
July 25, 2025 at 5:09 PM
💙 Following the consensus building workshops, the EDCRN team identified four key themes. Read the thread below to find out these themes and how we implemented them into the EDCRN dataset. 🧵👇

💫 When agreeing for the data to be collected in EDCRN, the importance of adaptations for autistic people in ED treatment was highlighted. We reflect this in our dataset through the inclusion of questionnaires which ask about autism and capturing where the PEACE pathway is being implemented.

📚 For our next EDCRN journal club, authored by a member of our Lived Experience Advisory Board, we read about the PEACE Pathway – an autism-informed approach to ED care.

🌱The EDCRN recognises that EDs can have long-term effects. To support recovery, we streamline patient records between different services, involve caregivers in the process (at any age) and offer optional 5-year follow-ups post-discharge to monitor ongoing recovery.
