About Ellern Mede
Ellern Mede provides specialist inpatient mental healthcare for children aged eight and above, adolescents and adults with eating disorders and complex, overlapping mental health needs. Its services also address trauma-related difficulties, emotional dysregulation and neurodivergence, using personalised treatment plans and multidisciplinary expertise.
Providing specialist eating disorder treatment since 2000, the group now has three inpatient hospitals in North London and South Yorkshire: Ridgeway, Barnet and Queensway. Its pathway supports different stages of treatment and recovery, with long-term independence as an aim. Ellern Mede works nationally and internationally with NHS commissioners, insurers, overseas governments and private funders to arrange placements, subject to clinical review of individual needs and suitability.
A shared treatment approach
Structured assessments and multidisciplinary formulation bring patients, families or carers and community teams into recovery planning where appropriate. Teams use standardised measures to review progress and treatment effectiveness. Medical, nutritional, psychological and pharmacological support combine with therapies selected for each person’s needs.
Learning and service improvement
Corporate and clinical governance meetings sit alongside patient and family forums and a lived experience advisory group. These provide ways for people using services to contribute to improvement. The group also takes part in national audit, benchmarking and external peer review through Royal College of Psychiatrists’ quality networks.
