Healthwatch Kent – Information and signposting
Healthwatch Southwark provides an independent, confidential information and signposting service. We support people to access health and social care services and resolve difficulties. We are a small team but if we don’t know the answer, we will try to find someone who does.
Eating Disorders
Does your weight or how you look affect the way you feel about yourself?
Do you worry that you have lost control over how much you eat?
Do you do something to compensate if you feel you have eaten too much (make yourself sick, over-exercise or take laxatives)? If you answer yes to any of the above then you can visit the Eating disorders service Kent and Medway website for help and advice.
