Patient and public engagement

Every year ED HIT holds a patient and public event. These events are led by Carolyn (Peer Co-director & Patient and Public Involvement Lead). The events are open to anyone affected by an eating disorder or on a recovery journey, and family, carers and friends. They are very informal but a very useful way for the HIT to gather information and share our research. Information from these events inform ED HIT priorities as they help identify barriers or challenges on care, and sometimes they highlight good practice which we cascade through our professional channels.

Upcoming events

Join us for our FREE Mindful Mandala Workshop on Thursday 5 February, 5:30-7:30pm at the Arnolfini Arts, Bristol.

Enjoy an evening of mindful, arts-based activities, helping you to connect with others with similar experiences.

Here’s what last year’s attendees had to say:

“Absolutely loved meeting the team at the mandala making workshop. It’s been such a heartwarming valuable experience which has definitely made a difference to me. Thank you so much 😊”

“This event helped me feel more grounded, centred and balanced. It was a very safe environment to be in”

“Made me feel better talking to others”

Come along if you, or someone you know, is affected by eating difficulties or eating disorders.

The event includes a Bharatnatyam dance performance by Chandini Sree, who has done research on the lived experience of eating disorders in the South Asian community.
