Dr Bronwyn Raykos Recognised with Award at ANZAED Conference

 

CCI’s own Dr Bronwyn Raykos has been recognised for her contribution to the field of eating disorders when she was presented with an award at the annual Australia and New Zealand Academy for Eating Disorders (ANZAED) Conference, which was held here in Perth last August 2021. Dr Raykos is a Senior Clinical Psychologist, researcher, and the coordinator of CCI’s eating disorder program, and has worked in the field of eating disorders for over 15 years. The ANZAED Distinguished Achievement Award in the Field of Eating Disorders is awarded to recognise a distinguished contribution of an ANZAED member in the area of research, clinical practice, education and advocacy in the field of eating disorders.

 

During her time working on eating disorders, Dr Raykos has significantly improved access to evidence-based care and treatment outcomes for adolescents and adults with eating disorders in Western Australia. She has been particularly dedicated to the implementation of Family Based Treatment (FBT) for young people with Anorexia Nervosa, and has made great strides improving the systems that deliver this intervention so that more people can receive appropriate, evidence-based treatment in a timely manner. Dr Raykos also provides supervision, consultation and training on eating disorders to a broad range of professionals. A true scientist-practitioner, she is constantly involved in conducting clinically applied research at CCI to ensure that the effectiveness of interventions for eating disorders is being improved over time.
