Avoidant / Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is characterised by a pattern of feeding or eating that avoids certain foods or food groups entirely and/or is restricted in quantity. First recognised in the DSM-V criteria in 2013, research around appropriate management is evolving. Those with ARFID may need support from a multidisciplinary team including a psychologist, dietitian, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist and physician.

 

The course provides a comprehensive education on the journey of ARFID, from diagnosis, to assessment and management, incorporating up-to-date research and information on practical management. Designed to engage participants with thought-provoking opportunities, the course features a range of learning opportunities including toolkits, quizzes and online discussions to reinforce knowledge acquisition and application in practice.
