This also meant everyone came walking in during the session - something the speaker even said was distracting. It’s disrespectful how this session was organised and handled #LEDC2026.

Great to see lived experience represented at London International Eating Disorders Conference #LEDC2026 but PLEASE do not schedule the session at the same time as lunch! It really doesn’t send the right message and it means there is a fraction of the audience in attendance. Disappointing decision 😞

Delighted to receive this Changing Policy and Practice funding 🎉 With @pactlab.bsky.social colleagues, REDCAN (redcan.org.uk) & award-winning comedian and mental health campaigner Dave Chawner, we’ll develop practical guidelines to embed remote care into a national eating disorder policy ✨
