"You have given me a chance to live my days in a very different way; less critical and more kind to myself."
 
"The team have helped me to see that there is more to recovery than just food and there is more to me than what I weigh. The team have reinstated a regular eating pattern and reintroduced foods that I had cut out. They have taught me about the importance of good nutrition and guided me to discover other, less destructive activities to focus my energy on"

Service user feedback on day treatment service

"The West Midlands ED Collaborative is truly a collaboration of partners from around the region. From the outset, the team at Priory have always felt included, valued and our contributions appreciated.
 
We have been able to see how our collaboration with the West Midlands has gone from strength to strength, enabling staff to build valuable relationships across partners; to share knowledge and most importantly treating patients closer to home."
 
Priory Healthcare

"West Midlands Provider Collaborative ha been a fantastic edition to adult eating disorders, not only have they reduced hospital admissions and length of stay, they have been of great support to local teams. As a group they have supported complex case discussions, management planning and supporting ideas for enhancing service delivery; in turn this has given professional confidence to staff and the wider organisations.
 
Thank you West Midlands Provider Collaborative."
 
Worcester Community Adult ED Team

"Not only has the collaborative brought about massive improvements in patient care such as being admitted closer to home, it has also brought about a much closer, professional relationship between the services in the area. We no longer feel like an island; we are readily able to access support from our colleagues about the challenges that we all face."
