The Clinical Training Day, preceding the conference, involved four workshops.

For the first time we offered two introductory workshops, in conjunction with the National Collaboration on Eating Disorders (NEDC). These were: an Introduction to Eating Disorders, by senior CEED staff Dr. Beth Shelton and Michelle Roberton; and Working with Carers, by Dr. Naomi Crafti of EDFV.
