Document Description: 

Medical Emergencies in Eating Disorders (MEED) supersedes previous MARSIPAN guidance, which should no longer be used. The guideline is relevant to the safe assessment of new presentations of ED in the community, and when a patient with an ED is unwell and may present to General Practice. It is recommended that when an ED is suspected, the assessment should follow the steps in the guideline, as well as considering other possible conditions, even if the diagnosis of ED is not confirmed.
