Referring patients to the Eating Disorders Programme

At St Patrick’s Mental Health Services, our Eating Disorder Service provides outpatient, day, inpatient and aftercare services.

Service users are provided with the appropriate level of care depending on their severity and stage of recovery. Treatment needs are routinely evaluated by the team and collaborated with the service user from the point of entry to discharge from the service. 

Our adult Eating Disorders Service provides care for service users over the age of 18 with:

  • Anorexia nervosa
  • Bulimia nervosa
  • Other specified feeding and eating disorder (OSFED)
  • Binge eating disorders.
