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.

  The alternative would be to let them free, to be predated on and without parents to teach them the necessities of survival. Clearly this is an unhelpful model of instruction, but, given the ducklings have been born and will not survive without parental care (unless they are hand reared in the school - which I doubt has the capacity of skill for this) then gassing them is the most 'humane' action. The school should perhaps have thought through what is the likely outcome for ducklings which are not being reared by either skilled farmers or ducks. I suspect that the duckings would not be saleable to farmers having been initially born and raised in circumstances which were not sterile for introduction into larger flocks.

  Malumbu, by that measure are police efforts to cut down on anti-social driving by issuing tickets and fines a token effort as well? Surely punitive measures for cyclists breaking the rules will encourage them not to break the rules again? A bit like when you got stopped and taken into the cab of an HGV. The police are currently using that tactic to show those who break the rules cycling that it might lead them to being hit by a lorry due to the driver's having limited vision - the cycling equivalent of a speed awareness course for drivers. When they stopped you was it because you had broken a rule or was it just more of an education programme and they asked you to take a look and did it change your cycling behaviour in any way? As I said previously there are those who break the rules on cycling out of ignorance (and those out of arrogance) and I am sure they are using HGVs to educate those in the ignorance category and then hitting those in the arrogance category with the PCNs.
