Better Example
• Development need: The management of patients
with eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa.
I realised after a difficult clinical situation when a
patient was under my care who was anorexic, that I
was not confident in managing these patients.

• I have arranged to discuss this case with a colleague
who specialises in this condition – in the next two
weeks.
• Before this I will carry out an internet search for
resources - review articles, online learning.
• Ask my colleague for suggestions about any other
suitable resources.

Time scale

next two months.

year.
