This year, Beat are focusing on eating disorders in men. At least 1 in 4 people affected by eating disorders are men. We want to bust the toxic stereotypes that prevent men from speaking up. Cassius Hackforth is sharing his story in support of Eating Disorders Awareness Week. 

Volunteers support and enhance our services at South London and Maudsley. We are supported by about 400 volunteers every year. Karen is a Physical Health Peer Support Worker at the Trust. In this blog she shares how she started her role as a Volunteer and became a full-time employee.

The British Medical Association (BMA) has announced junior doctors will take part in a 72-hour strike from 7am on Monday 13 March until 7am on Thursday 16 March. The strike action might impact some services run by our Trust. We are working hard to make sure we can continue the safe delivery of our clinical services on the strike days. However, to help us safely manage the impact of the strikes, we will need to postpone some non-urgent appointments scheduled for the strike days.
