description Aims: One of the aims of this project was to look at changes in working patterns within our local Eating Disorder service over time, paying particular attention to changes in rates of accepted referrals, and rates of inpatient admissions during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to do this, findings for the general population were extrapolated from the Youth Wellbeing Prevalence Study Northern Ireland (YWPS).
