What is an EDU in relationship to a hospital?

Could be an Eating Disorder Unit? Is it quite a big hospital?

Could be an Eating Disorder Unit? Is it quite a big hospital?

That seems to come up quite a bit when I google EDU. But it could be wrong. Hope your friend is ok soon though.

She's always been really small and skinny, but I assumed it was just she was extremley petite, shes a lovely girl, just hope she's ok. From what I know, it's pretty big yes.



So do I, she's said its not serious but its worrying not knowing whats up!

I know it's easy to say, but try not to worry. Just offer her lots of support and show you care - talk about normal things, don't talk about weight/the ED. Hope she manages.

Yeah and eating disorder unit, depends on the TYPE of hospital it is though

Not entirely sure what type of hospital it is, it's the name of the area followed by Royal Hospital...

in which area? eg...derby royal hospital?

i mean some places are mental health hospitals, childrens hospitals..etc etc

but, it does sound like an eating disorder, especially if they're taking post- only really happens to long term patients like that, as in most general wards they try and get patients out ASAP due to infection control etc

Hmm, I would post the area but I don't paticularly want to post my whereabouts on the net! From what I've heard is quite a large general type of hospital, not entirely sure though.

Bit of a bugger, I really hope she's ok, but she's in the best of hands. Also explains why she's not wanted to go into details as to what it's about.

well do you want to pm me it, i may be able to help once i know which hospital it is!

The only EDU acronym I know of is as mentioned.

''Yeah, I've written her a letter just rambling about normal things and saying she's ok, I've enclosed a note saying as I can't include grapes/flowers in the envelope then she could have a day out and a meal with me if she wanted when she's well? Do you reckon I should take that out as it might seem unsensitive?''

Doesn't seem insensitive but I don't know how she'd take it, maybe just say something like it'd be nice to do something fun together when she gets better?
