We are the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Hospital at Home Eating Disorders virtual service.

About us

The Hospital at Home team supports children and young people under 18 with eating disorders.

The service provides intensive support at home when a young person is very unwell.

This can help avoid a stay in hospital or support a return home sooner after a hospital admission.

Who we help

The service supports young people who:

  • Are under 18 years old
  • Have an eating disorder
  • Need extra support with their recovery

How we help

The team works with young people and their families online and over the phone. Support may include:

  • Regular one-to-one appointments
  • Help and support at mealtimes
  • Support for parents and carers
  • Family sessions and parent groups

The service aims to help young people:

  • Stay at home with their family where possible
  • Keep in touch with friends, school and everyday life
  • Receive support from the same small team
  • Build confidence and skills to support recovery

Who we are

The team includes doctors, nurses, psychologists, therapists and dietitians who work together to provide care and support. The team also works closely with local eating disorder services to make sure young people receive the help they need.

Get in touch

We respond to emails between 8am and 8pm.
