Avoidant / Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) is characterised by a pattern of feeding or eating that avoids certain foods or food groups entirely and/or is restricted in quantity. First recognised in the DSM-V criteria in 2013, research around appropriate management is evolving. Those with ARFID may need support from a multidisciplinary team including a psychologist, dietitian, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist and physician. This course has been created by ARFID Awareness UK in partnership with the University of Winchester, by a multidisciplinary team with experience in practice, higher education and active in research. It intends to provide a reliable source of contemporary information on nutrition and ARFID related health care issues for Health Care Professionals.
