Nightingale Hospital London is dedicated to delivering individually tailored, quality care for individuals aged 18 years and above. We provide treatment for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder (BED), other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) or avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
The eating disorders service at Nightingale Hospital is located in its own self-contained unit on Bendall Mews. This light and welcoming facility is equipped with nine bedrooms, all paired with a private ensuite. The unit is purpose built, and has its own kitchen, lounge and therapy rooms.
Our inpatient and day patient therapy programme consists typically of four therapy groups a day. These therapies provided are in line with NICE Guidelines, and include a CBT-E group, an emotional regulation group, a body image group and a nutrition group.

Eating disorders unit: An example therapy timetable
All patients in the eating disorders unit receive a mixture of group therapy, individual therapy and on referral, family therapy. Therapy can help you develop a better understanding of the function that the eating disorder has in your life and allow you to find constructive ways to move away from the eating disorder.
