In late March, our Right Care Right Place (RCRP) team spent time in Roma delivering in-person training, collaboration and service development activities alongside the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC).
The focus was on strengthening how eating disorders are identified and responded to across the region.
Led by Abby Smith, the program brought together local clinicians, services and national partners, with Emily Harris supporting delivery on the ground.
Across the work, the team delivered:
• Training sessions on identification, initial response, psychoeducation and single session intervention
• A leadership workshop to support services responding to eating and body concerns
• Engagement with local providers across primary care, mental health, allied health and hospital services
• Planning to guide the next phase of RCRP
The team was also joined by NEDC representatives Jackie Wilson, Dr Emma Spiel and Evangeline Gardiner, along with QuEDS team members Sally Kuhle and Rea Nolan.
This work continues to build capability, strengthen connections across services and support access to care across the south-west region.
