Service Mission, Vision and Values Eating disorders have the highest mortality and morbidity of all of the mental health conditions (Arcelus, 2011), and it is estimated that they will affect between 1 to 4% of the population at some point in their lives (NIMH, 2016). They are caused by a combination of genetic, biological and psychosocial factors and occur across gender, age, cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic groupings. Although not common eating disorders result in very high psychosocial and economic cost to individuals, families, healthcare and society when not treated or treated ineffectively (Butterfly Foundation 2012 and 2015). The service mission, vision and values of the Galway Roscommon Mental Health service include: • To improve the clinical outcomes and recovery of people with eating disorders in Galway and Roscommon though the provision of evidence based practices by trained, skilled staff. • To reduce the comorbidity and mortality associated with eating disorders through enhanced clinical risk management and early intervention. • To remain patient centred by including service user feedback and input in the development of our eating disorder services. • To support enhanced screening and early recognition of eating disorders. • To provide timely access to consultation for referrers. • To reduce service user internal and external waiting times to initial assessment and treatment. • To develop a stepped care model of service delivery based on different patient needs. • To establish formal pathways between services that will enable more seamless transitions of people with eating disorders when it is needed. • To evaluate the effectiveness of our services across clinical, activity and service user experience outcomes. • To reduce the significant long term health, economic and psychosocial cost of eating disorders through early intervention. • To reduce the duration of illness and promote recovery through the provision of evidence based effective interventions. • To reduce dependence on inpatient admission (numbers / length of stay) where clinically appropriate, though the provision of alternative less restrictive options for intensive treatment such as day and group programmes. • • To reduce relapse rates though all of the above measures.

The individual will undertake the academic preparation and develop the clinical and leadership skills, competencies and knowledge required to meet the criteria to be registered as a RANP with NMBI.

The advanced practice role demonstrates a high degree of knowledge, skill and experience that is applied within the nurse-patient/client relationship to achieve optimal outcomes through critical analysis, problem solving and accurate decision-making (NMBI, 2017). Central to this is the provision of quality care, a safe environment and processes for patients by the use of evidence based clinical guidelines that address patient expectations, promote wellness and evaluate care given.
