Staff burnout is also common in ED units (EDUs), linked to difficult relationships with patients and poor self-care, and is not well addressed. Therefore we piloted a series of joint well-being workshops to target these issues. Joint workshops were offered to patients (n = 55) and the multi-disciplinary team MDT (n = 34) in adult ED wards over two years. Experiences were evaluated quantitively and qualitatively. Mood post-workshops increased significantly for both groups (patients: p &lt; 0.001, r = 0.49; MDT: z = 3.043, p = 0.002, r = 0.41), with the feeling that they deserved to take time for self-care (patients: z = 2.419, p = 0.016, r = 0.31); MDT: z = 2.814, p = 0.005, r = 0.38). Workshops were found to be enjoyable and highly relevant to well-being, but less useful by patients. Thematic analysis identified six themes: Enjoyment, recovery and well-being, relationships, content, structure and future ideas. Both groups experienced improved mood and increased enjoyment and awareness of well-being. Patient isolation was addressed, and the staff experienced stress reduction and increased productivity. Both groups experienced improved relationships.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/brainsci9100247","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,23]],"date-time":"2019-09-23T03:26:32Z","timestamp":1569209192000},"page":"247","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Well-Being Workshops in Eating Disorder Wards and Their Perceived Benefits to Patients and the Multi-Disciplinary Team: A Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Katherine","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Psychological Medicine, King\u2019s College London, London SE5 8AF, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasemin","family":"Dandil","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation, London BR3 3BX, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Baillie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation, London BR3 3BX, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8988-3265","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kate","family":"Tchanturia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological Medicine, Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, Psychological Medicine, King\u2019s College London, London SE5 8AF, UK"},{"name":"South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation, London BR3 3BX, UK"},{"name":"Department of Psychology, Illia State University, Tbilisi 0162, Georgia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.1186\/s40337-017-0164-0","article-title":"Identifying fundamental criteria for eating disorder recovery: A systematic review and qualitative meta-analysis","volume":"5","author":"LaMarre","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
