Supporting people with eating disorders in exercise environments: CPD Webinar

This live one-hour webinar will help us to recognise and understand the complexity, risk factors and health consequences involved with eating disorders, and how they could be managed in an exercise setting. Delivered by WRIGHT Foundation CIC’s expert Life and Health Sciences and Specialist Exercise Referral Lecturer and hosted by our Associate Consultant with over 20 years of experience in delivery of exercise referral, there will also be an opportunity to ask questions on the subject. An excellent taster opportunity for anyone who may have come across people with eating disorders during the course of their work and feel they would benefit from a further understanding in this area.
