A pioneering nurse-led day programme is helping people overcome eating disorders with mutual support and social interaction. Elaine Cole reports

In Lincolnshire an innovative nurse-led day programme is helping people stay out of hospital and take back control from the illness. Peer support is crucial to the programme’s success.
