EDNET is born

EDNET, an eating disorder network for UK professionals was finally born today during the Warwick meeting.
An idea originally conceived by Bob Palmer, and gestated over several months, the idea of some kind of UK professional network was welcomed by attendees at the meeting. Suggestions for the format of the organisation ranged from a simple information exchange in the form of an email list or bulletin board to a more formal organisation with a committee, constitution and regular meetings.
It will be interesting to see how the organisation develops. In the meantime, slides from the presentations made at the meeting will soon be available on the Eating Disorders Association website at http://www.edauk.com/ednet/.
I'm not sure who interested professionals should email to be kept informed of developments in EDNET - anyone who can help me here is welcome to post a comment or email me.

I am one of the 8 or 9 people who have volunteered to be the steering group to take Ednet to its next stage. We will meet together in person on 25th March . If you have views or suggestions as to how Ednet could be useful to practitioners from outside the UK or any suggestion(s) as to what EDnet's priorities should be, then do please let me know before the meeting.
