This Eating Disorders Awareness Week, we’re standing with to raise awareness, challenge stigma, and remind our community that recovery is never out of reach. 💙

In the UK, over 1 in 50 people live with an eating disorder (though the actual number may be even higher). Conditions such as ARFID, Anorexia, and Bulimia are complex and often go unrecognised, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood. Eating disorders don’t just impact the individual; they also take a toll on loved ones, who can often feel powerless as they watch someone they care about struggle. Eating disorders are among the biggest mental health challenges, but with the right help, recovery is possible. 🌟

🤔 In today’s we answer:

How do we use AI at The Edinburgh Practice❓

👉 Heidi AI is a medical scribe. It can listen to consultations whilst they're happening, transcribe interviews, form session notes, and draft assessment summaries.
🌟 By using Heidi, many clinicians at TEP have found that they're spending much less time on extensive note-taking following appointments. Ultimately, this allows them to be fully present with clients.
