“The credential did make a difference”: eating disorder treatment with ANZAED credentialed clinicians: carer perspectives
These findings hold important implications for future considerations of credentialing of ED clinicians and proposals for refinements of the ANZAED Eating Disorder Credential. Carers perceived the Credential to enhance quality of care and support, however, many noted that broader systemic issues were limiting its reach. Further efforts are needed to increase awareness and facilitate access to credentialed clinicians through key referral pathways.
