Identifying and responding to eating disorders in general practice

Join us for an essential FREE education dinner for general practitioners in the Adelaide PHN region, addressing the growing challenge of body image distress, disordered eating, and eating disorders in primary care. As general practitioners are often the first point of contact for patients struggling with these complex conditions, early identification and response are key for positive outcomes.

Our guest speaker, Dr Jemma Elliott from Adelaide Health Care, brings extensive experience in eating disorder management to share practical insights with fellow general practitioners. Attendees will learn about:

• Recognising high-risk presentations and key warning signs of eating disorders
• Evidence-based screening and assessment tools
• Medical management strategies appropriate for the general practice setting
• Practical tools and resources to enhance clinical confidence
• Clear pathways for timely referrals and ongoing collaborative care

This education dinner combines professional development with networking opportunities over a two-course dinner and drinks at the Terrace Hotel, South Terrace, Adelaide, as part of the Right Care Right Place: Eating disorder care in my community project.
