Welcome

EDIC 2012 is rapidly taking shape, and it will offer a quite remarkable range of learning experiences for professionals, service users and carers. 

Apart from a fascinating array of submitted workshops, oral and poster presentations, we have commissioned a series of Masterclasses.  These will amount to significant chunks of education which will provide a deeper understanding of the topic than you will get in just one workshop.  The subjects for these sets of 3 Masterclasses are 1. Family work, organized by Ivan Eisler, 2. Child and adolescent eating disorders,  (Dasha Nicholls), and 3. Medical and nutritional  approaches to severe anorexia nervosa  (Sylvia Dahabra). In addition we are very excited to have a single Masterclass on CBT-E provided by Chris Fairburn.

The keynote speakers are Terry Wilson and Andy Hill, and plenary topics are 1. Development and Neuroscience with Sara-Jane Blakemore and Angela Favaro, 2. First Line approaches to Eating Disorders with Carolyn Becker and Jim Mitchell, 3. Sport and Exercise with Caroline Meyer and Jorunn Sundgot-Borgen and 4. Co-morbidities with Eunice Chen.  Just Google those names and you will begin to appreciate the treats in store.   I wish I had room to name everyone – apologies to those I missed.

The host organization, Beat will be presenting the Beat awards and welcoming Beat champions and finally you will have a chance to bombard some of the exhausted presenters with questions before the end of the conference.

Could this be the Eating Disorders Research Olympics?
