General practitioners take on varying levels of responsibility for patients who have eating disorders. Roles appear to be tiered, from simply identifying illness and referring the patient on, to acting as care coordinator, providing medical and psychological treatment and/or continuing care.
Every GP has some level of responsibility toward this patient group. This article aims to identify the various levels of intervention and roles GPs may take and to provide practitioners with options regarding their level of clinical involvement.
Just what role GPs choose to take in the management of patients with eating disorders depends on many factors including the stage of the patient's illness, and the doctor's interest, knowledge and clinical skills in this area of practice.
