We are seeking feedback from service users and carers on the Sheffield Eating Disorders Service (SEDS).
A QR code linking to the feedback form is available in reception, or alternatively, please ask for a feedback form at your next appointment.
We provide support and treatment to people aged 16 and over who have a moderate or severe eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia.
We work closely with South Yorkshire Eating Disorders Association who deal with mild to moderate eating disorders in the city, and the Sheffield Eating Disorders Assessment and Treatment Team who support people aged 16 and under.
If you are struggling with what you think might be an eating disorder this page has information to help you find the support and advice you need.
We also provide support to families and carers of people who are referred to us with an eating disorder. If you would like to speak to someone in the team please do not hesitate to call us.
When you’re first referred to our service we’ll meet with you to do an assessment of your current situation.
We understand how big a step it is to ask for help with an eating disorder. Our team of experts are here to listen and support you to make the brave changes you need to recover.
During your assessment we’ll talk about your eating patterns and examine your physical health. From there we’ll discuss the treatment options available to you.
That may include First-Line Talking Treatments that are provided in line with NICE Guidelines.
Our team is made up from a range of specialists, including occupational therapists, dietitians, psychologists, psychiatrists, specialist nurses and therapist. Different areas of expertise may be required at different stages of your recovery journey.
For those requiring more intensive support, our Day Service Programme runs three days a week and includes a range of therapeutic groups and supported meals and snacks to support recovery.
