Course overview
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.
This course has been created by ARFID Awareness UK in partnership with the University of Winchester, by a multidisciplinary team with experience in practice, higher education and active in research. It intends to provide a reliable source of contemporary information on nutrition and ARFID related health care issues for Health Care Professionals.
