Understanding Eating Disorders – St John of God Annual Research Conference 2026

Welcome to the St John of God 36th Annual Research Conference where the theme this year is on eating disorders. We will be bringing together leading researchers, clinicians, policymakers and community advocates to explore the eating disorder landscape across diverse groups and settings, extending from those who experience this mental illness in childhood to those minority groups whose experiences are often overlooked and under-researched. St John of God services have observed a dramatic rise in the cases of eating disorders since the Covid-19 pandemic and this year we will dedicate our research conference to this topic.

CPD Credits Awarded: 6 credits from CPsychI & 4 credits from PSI

There will be a photographer and videographer attending the conference. If you do not want to be in photographs or video content which we will be using on our website and social media platforms, please let a member of the Research Foundation team know on the day.
