Facilitating best practice between NHS Trusts and providing connections for them to discuss the implementation of ARFID services for both adults and children. Continued presence at conferences and learning days to raise awareness in the medical community. Continued success with our online CPD accredited training course ‘Introduction to ARFID’ for healthcare professionals in partnership with the University of Winchester Involvement in the British Dietetics’ Association’s  publication of a Position on ARFID raising awareness among the medical community and enhancing the experience of those seeking support via dieticians within the UK for ARFID. Working with Helen Coultard at DE Montfort University to have a children's picture book on ARFID written.  This will be published for children to feel less isolated and in order to open discussions within the nursery and school settings.  There is nothing like this currently within the UK and it is essential children have a reference point for their experiences. Signing an agreement with 'RunforCharity' to enable us to secure places in some of the UK's most soughtafter fundraising runs. Creation of an ARFID For Schools pamphlet with accreditation from ARFID Awareness UK which will be available to schools nationally to assist teachers, school staff and pupils as well as their families.
