Assessment | Services | The Bridge | Multidisciplinary specialist eating disorder service for children and adults based in Manchester.

Assessment

We offer an initial assessment by a Registered Mental Health Nurse, who is trained and specialised in eating disorders. By offering a nurse led service we can make sure we are offering the treatment that is suitable and required for your recovery.

The assessment will last approximately two hours. In the case of underage patients there will be an in depth discussion with both the young person and their parents / carers about topics such as the history of disordered eating, family history as well as the young person’s physical and mental health. In the case of overage patients, our mental health nurse will discuss the patient’s history in relation to mental health, eating habits and family history.

Creating a timeline will allow your care coordinator the chance to come up with the most suitable treatment plan for your recovery. The assessment will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the treatment and what to expect. As part of our multidisciplinary approach, we offer an additional assessment where required with our psychologist and/or dietitian. The dietitian will assess your nutritional status and discuss eating plans available to promote a healthy BMI. This will be done gradually and in conjunction with psychological treatment where appropriate. Our psychologist is trained in interventions which aid the full recovery of eating disorders.

By providing our services in an outpatient setting, we are able to make sure our service is accessible to more people affected and offer help and support before the illness reaches a critical point. All members of our team are professionally qualified to ensure you and your loved ones are in safe hands. We offer a complete eating disorder service equipped with professionals that will help you overcome your eating disorder, so you can live a healthy and normal life.
