The community eating disorder team is a new development and is part of the national clinical care programme for eating disorders, which is a collaboration between the HDE, Bodywhys and the College of Psychiatrists in Ireland. The new adult eating disorder team will provide a service to adults with a diagnosis of an eating disorder. The four main presentations are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and ARFID.
