Patient Referral Form

PEDS is currently closed to new referrals. We are reviewing this regularly and will update this page accordingly.

We strongly recommend you see your GP to determine if your symptoms meet the requirements for the local secondary care specialist eating disorder team- CPFT AEDS (or CAMHS ED if under 18) and to book an appointment for a health check.
