Eating disorders and pregnancy: Developing training for healthcare professionals

What is the purpose of the research?

We are a small team of researchers from King?s College London and we are developing a training film about eating disorders for health professionals who care for pregnant women and new mothers. We want to include information about eating disorders and advice on how best to support women during this time. We need the help of mothers of young children who have experienced eating disorders in the past to help us develop the content of the film.


Who can take part?

We are inviting mothers who have previously experienced eating disorders to share their experiences of pregnancy and postnatal care with us. We also want to consult with maternity healthcare professionals who have experience of supporting women who have had eating disorders: if you know anyone who might like to get involved, please ask them to contact Amanda.


What does the study involve?

You can share your experiences by either attending a short workshop in London during August or September, or by email, or by telephone. If you choose to attend the workshop, we will reimburse your travel expenses and provide refreshments.


How can you take part?

If you are interested in coming to the workshop or contributing by email or phone, please contact project coordinator Amanda Bye to find more.

    • Does anyone have the same problem.  I am 79 and have sent my licence renewal form to the DVLA on the 21st October 20 which they have received. I have just received a letter from them them dated 22 December 2025 today saying my licence is with their Drivers Medal Department and will be processed as soon as possible. This follows my telephone call to them after three weeks  from the October date as I had not received my licence back as per their time frame. I also followed this up mid December after finally getting through but did not get any confirmation as to what the situation was. Is this normal practice? On the 7 January 2026 I will be unable to drive as my licence has not been sent back. I have no medical issues and meet all the requirements with no problem as per previous renewals in fact nothing has changed health wise.Their the letter states if they need any more details from me, they will contact me directly. Why has it taken 2 and a half months get get this far? Is this some sort of ploy to get older drivers to finally give up their driving by making life difficult as possible.  Has anyone else experienced this. Read Medical not Medal.
    • You're being a little disingenuous here. It is simply not true that "the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum" because: -> the area the development is in isn't 2/3 storeys maximum today - as evidenced by the school on the lot adjoining the development to the south, as well as the similarly-sized buildings to the north and east.  -> the SPG doesn't preclude this type of development anyway. This "genie in a bottle" stuff is desperate barrel-scraping. Now you're raising the spectre of a 9 storey building on the Gibbs & Dandy site (the chance would be a fine thing) but also arguing Southwark is too slow to approve things and opposed to development more than 2-3 storeys!
    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and sad looking, and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me
