Hey, :hi:

Many healthcare professionals will come across and work with patients who have eating disorders. This can range from adult or child nurses, paramedics, social workers etc.

However, Mental Health Nurses would work with patients with eating disorders much closer than other professions. This is because mental health nurses play a crucial role in helping people who are experiencing or recovering from a range of mental health problems.

Check out our mental health nursing degree webpage to find out more about this profession: https://www.canterbury.ac.uk/study-here/courses/mental-health-nursing

I hope this helps! :thumbsup:
