Height and Weight Scales

Height and weight scales

An unfortunate change that NHS staff at the Royal Alex have seen since Covid is the increase in young people with eating disorders. In fact, numbers have doubled within the emergency department which is why it’s so important for staff to be able to quickly and accurately assess their height and weight.

So, we are funding some new scales that provide an accurate print out of all the information needed. The NHS staff can then calculate the correct BMI for the patient which forms the basis of the risk strategy when working with children and young adults with eating disorders.
