8. Under Developed Example
Development need: Update on eating disorders
How will I address the need? Reading
Timescale: In the next year
Outcome: I will feel more confident about this

9. Better Example (1/4) Development need:
The management of patients with eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa.
I realised after a difficult clinical situation when a patient was under my care who was anorexic, that I was not confident in managing these patients.

10. Better Example (2/4) How will I address the need?
I have arranged to discuss this case with a colleague who specialises in this condition – in the next two weeks.
Before this I will carry out an internet search for resources – review articles, online learning.
Ask my colleagues for suggestions about any other suitable resources.

11. Better Example (3/4) Time scale
Internet search and discuss with colleagues – within the next two months.
Review any changes to management over the next year.

12. Better Example (4/4) Outcome
I will write up this case as a clinical case review.
I will present this at our clinical meeting.
I will discuss with our specialist trainees.
