Our referral criteria

We are unable to offer direct support to clients who:

  • Are at a severely low weight (BMI 17.5 or below) - in this case you need to visit your GP for a referral to Sheffield Eating Disorders Service

  • Are purging (self induced vomiting/laxative abuse) 5 times per week or more. - in this case you need to visit your GP for a referral to Sheffield Eating Disorders Service

  • Are excessively abusing alcohol/substances

  • Are experiencing severe mental health difficulties (Referrals would need to be assessed on a case-by-case basis, to determine the suitability for accessing Eating Disorder treatment).

  • Have attempted to take their own life within the last 6 months, or are engaging in serious self-harm/risk taking behaviours.

  • Have received bariatric surgery within the last 6 weeks, or if they are still unable to eat a minimum of 3 solid meals per day. You must also be accessing your GP for monitoring and taking the recommended vitamins and minerals.

  • If it is determined at triage that the client would require more specialised support.

  • Do not have a GP registered in Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham or Doncaster.
