I can confirm that there was some pretty shocking brushing aside of concerns during a meeting with NHSE this week, and a total lack of engagement / no response to others, including very personal experiences of my own that I shared. I was stunned by the lack of compassion.

Last week I received another email from a family - a 34 year old with anorexia who has been moved on to palliative care.. but yet when I raised this with NHS England they said it wasn't a thing...

Agnes Ayton 💙 Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman GMC AoMRC Still can’t believe this, one of the most basic cost effective things hasn’t changed since my undergrad mh training 11 years ago, especially post Avril Hart. And post grad if your Trust lacks Eating disorder placements it’s none existent. CASC stations or certainly mocks outdated

Katie Berry Hope Virgo Very similar experience with Sheffield Health and Social Care NHS FT and Sheffield ED service here over the last 18 months. Acknowledgement of failures, meeting after meeting to discuss issues, money wasted, yet absolutely ZERO accountability and ZERO alternatives to treatment.

So grateful for the people the last few weeks who have been texting me asking how Joshy and I are doing with him starting 3 mornings of nursery! It's a huge transition but having so many people supporting me is just so helpful xx

Curious if we have 'Long Standing' as a diagnosis in Depression or is it just in eating disorders? And if so why is that?

I find asking for money for campaigning really awkward and hard but I have set up this GoFundMe link to help support the #DumpTheScales movement. If you are able to donate or know anyone who would it would be absolutely amazing and really appreciated! gofundme.com/f/end-eating-d…

Looking to speak to a few people for evidence sessions in Parliament. Please email if you can help 1. Someone who is on palliative care or had all treatment removed for an eating disorder AND 2. A clinician and someone with lived experience from wales and Scotland

Absolutely disgraceful treatment of someone with an eating disorder, and this is not the first death to take place at this hospital - we need to push for accountability and change!

Beth was 21, no discharge in 3 year, lost her life whilst inpatient as her risk was not managed. This was in January 2024. The PSII report is still not complete! How many more deaths have happened whilst waiting. This is part of the problem and bigger picture 🤷‍♀️😢 Tees, Esk & Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust
