In this episode of the St Emlyn's podcast, Iain Beardsell introduces a talk by Anna Kyle, a consultant paediatrician from Somerset, delivered at the Premier conference in June 2024. Anna explores the complexities of assessing and managing eating disorders in young patients, including young adults. Highlighting the critical nature of eating disorders, she notes a 90% increase in admissions over five years and emphasizes the deadly risks, particularly anorexia nervosa with its 10% lifetime mortality rate. Kyle provides detailed guidance on recognizing symptoms, conducting risk assessments, and the importance of a thorough medical evaluation.
