The Adult Eating Disorders Service (AEDS) is a community-based program provided by London Health Sciences Centre. This service has been developed to meet the needs of adults who require treatment for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding and eating disorders.
AEDS requires a physician referral. Physicians complete the online referral which can be found here: AEDS referral sheet and send all supporting documentation. This includes blood work and imaging that has been completed within 3 months of the referral. A list of supporting documentation is located below:
Biochemistry: Glucose (random), HbA1C, Creatinine (eGFR), Uric Acid, Sodium, Potassium, ALT, Alk. Phosphatase, Bilirubin, Albumin, Lipid Assessment (includes Cholesterol, HDL-C, Triglycerides, calculated LDL-C & Chol/HDL-C ratio), Albumin / Creatine Ratio (Urine), Urinalysis
Hematology: CBC
Other Tests: Ferritin, B12, Lytes (Na, K, Ci. Ca, Mg, P), Phosphate, Bicarb, BUN, Amylase, TSH (T3, T4 if abnormal), AST, GTT
Diagnostic Testing: ECG
All fields on the referral form must be completed. Incomplete referrals will be declined for service.
After the completed referral is received, the team will review the referral and determine eligibility for service. If the patient is eligible, the patient will be contacted by email or phone to attend our Mandatory Orientation Session, which is available monthly in-person and virtually.
