Eating disorder mental health staffing FAQs

What settings can you provide nurses to?

Our nurses can be sent out to a variety of locations to help people dealing with eating disorders. Some of the settings we send our nurses to include: 

  • Mental health wards in NHS and private hospitals 
  • Residential homes for adults or children 
Are your nurses trained to handle challenging behaviour?

We understand that eating disorder patients may present challenging behaviours towards staff. That’s why our nurses and HCAs have completed safety interventions training, such as Managing Actual or Potential Aggression (MAPA) and Preventing and Managing Violence and Aggression (PMVA). These training courses equip nurses with both non-restrictive and restrictive techniques to manage interventions when necessary, keeping the patient and staff safe. 

Are you compliant with the NHS framework?

We comply with NHS standards through rigorous governance, regular audits, and a clinical governance team led by our Quality Assurance Director. Candidate applications are approved after a comprehensive recruitment and vetting process conducted by our team of registered nurses, and only a fifth of applicants make it through this process.  

We handle complaints and incidents transparently, involving our nurses, clients and relevant third parties to ensure effective resolutions. This commitment guarantees that we consistently meet and uphold NHS standards. 

What are your staffing rates?

Our eating disorder mental health staffing service can be tailored to your organisation’s unique needs. When you book nurses or HCA through Thornbury Nursing Services, several factors will influence the cost of staffing, including:
