Anorexia nervosa is one of the most serious mental health conditions – and yet its impact is often underestimated.

The numbers speak volumes:

🔹 At least 1.25 million people in the UK are currently living with an eating disorder (Children’s Commissioner for England, 2023)
🔹 5.9% of 20 to 25 year olds, were identified with eating disorders with no difference in rates evident between women and men (NHS Digital, Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2023)
🔹 20.8% of young women aged 17–19 in England had a diagnosed eating disorder in 2023 (NHS Digital, Mental Health of Children and Young People in England, 2023)
🔹 Su***de risk is up to 18 times higher in people with anorexia compared to the general population (BMC Medicine, 2025)
🔹 Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder (BMC Psychiatry, Mortality and risk assessment for anorexia nervosa in acute-care hospitals: a nationwide administrative database analysis)

If you’re struggling, you’re not alone. Anorexia is treatable, and recovery is possible.

November is Men's Health Awareness Month and and we want to raise awareness of a heartbreaking reality: su***de remains the single biggest killer of men under the age of 50 in the UK.

These are not just numbers. They represent lives lost, often quietly, without warning, and without the chance for help. Stigma, silence, and societal expectations continue to prevent many men from seeking the support they need.

That’s why this month, Nightingale Hospital is proud to support Movember, a global movement raising awareness around men’s health, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health, and su***de prevention.

Throughout Men’s Health Awareness Month, we’ll also be sharing resources for men who may be struggling with their mental health. Whether you want to talk, read, connect, or seek professional support - help is out there, and you’re not alone.

October in the UK marks Black History Month, a month which celebrates and promotes the history, achievements, and contributions of Black people of African and Caribbean heritage in the UK.

At Nightingale Hospital, we are privileged to work alongside colleagues from diverse backgrounds. To mark this occasion, one of the activities that we planned was serving special lunch menus inspired by African and Caribbean cuisines every Wednesday. From jerk chicken to curry goat, or jollof rice to fried plantain, these menus were thoughtfully created by our catering team with input from our own staff to reflect the vibrant flavours and traditions of these cultures.

We saw these menus bring joy to lunch breaks both for patients and staff and spark conversations around the stories and history behind each dish.

Thank you to everyone who took part and we look forward to continue building on the spirit of inclusion and respect that defines our hospital.

Around Halloween, superstitions often take centre stage. Black cats, broken mirrors, Friday the 13th. For many, these are fanciful or even playful beliefs. But for people living with OCD, superstitions and magical thinking can feel the total opposite, often being quite distressing.

Magical thinking in OCD involves the belief that certain actions, like repeating a phrase or avoiding a number, can prevent something awful from happening. It’s far from a quirky character trait and instead is about managing overwhelming anxiety and a deep fear of uncertainty.

Challenging these thoughts with anti-OCD and anti-superstitious tasks is not to prove that bad events do not happen (because sometimes they do by coincidence), but to tolerate the uncertainty of not knowing whether bad things will happen, and to gather evidence to challenge our role in such events.

If this is something you're experiencing, please know that you're not alone. OCD is complex, and we have support available for you.
