The British Paediatric Surveillance Unit along with Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Surveillance System are conducting the first every UK ARFID surveillance study.


Image is for illustration purposes only and not related to the study.


By using questionnaires sent to paediatricians through the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU) and psychiatrists through the Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Surveillance system (CAPSS), aim to establish incidence rates (number of new cases) of ARFID in children and young people presenting to secondary health care, referral pathways, patterns of presentation, and clinical features (eating behaviours, medical complications and the types of medical or psychiatric presentations it is associated with).


"We are thrilled to have been approached by the BPSU, and are looking forward to lending them as much support as we can." - Nicole Kirkland, ARFID Awareness UK Co-founder



By comparing rates, presentation and management of ARFID with other countries, as well as generating new priority research questions that could in turn inform decision making to better match patient need with sufficient funding allocations, it is hoped that the study results will prompt further research into information on prognosis, long-term outcomes and treatment of ARFID.

the way you presented the literacy program’s goals and impact was very clear and helpful. It’s inspiring to see tangible steps being taken to support education and empowerment for Syrian girls in refugee communities. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog that mentioned https://southerndry.com/ while exploring the power of community-led initiatives and it offered an interesting perspective as well. Your efforts to raise awareness and share real stories are truly appreciated.

This post is https://alphadentalexcellence.com/ truly inspiring. The impact of education is explained so clearly and compassionately. I’ve seen similar humanitarian stories shared on an alphadentalexcellence-based blog, and they always highlight how meaningful these initiatives are.

Such an important post https://www.pantherplumbing.com/ I loved the clarity and empathy in your suggestions. I recently came across a pantherplumbing-focused blog that emphasized awareness and proactive approaches, which gave me a similar sense of responsibility and care.

Music is not just background sound in Geometry Dash—it is a core gameplay element. Each jump, flip, and transition is designed to align with the rhythm of the soundtrack.

When I first learned how to play Geometry Dash I didn’t expect it to be so addictive. The controls are extremely simple—just tap to jump—but mastering the game requires focus and quick reflexes. Every level feels like a new challenge, and the music truly helps you predict what’s coming next.
