Transitional Eating Disorder Service for Adults

Welcome To Bramacare

We are a specialist care provider for adults with eating disorders who are leaving hospital and need high quality support as a transition to living independently.

Our services also help to prevent hospital admissions by delivering tailored support for each individual, which helps them to work towards their recovery and to live safely with their eating disorder.

Through Bramacare Community, we provide supportive day care activities for adults and their families, alongside education programmes for healthcare professionals.

Laetitia Beaujard-Ramoo

Co-Director

My vision for Bramacare came after a career in advertising, I realised the often negative portrayal of body image in the media has a detrimental effect on adults and young people. I wanted to offer a service that supported adults with eating disorders, recognising that each individual requires a tailored programme of care and support to overcome their own challenges. My role is Co-Director with Dr Ramoo and I am also the Registered Care Manager at The White House in Ipswich. My role extends into the community with involvement in several organisations locally and nationally, including my role as Chair of Care Development East.

Dr Sachindev Ramoo

Co-Director and GP

Through my experience as a GP, I have seen first-hand the effects of mental illness and eating disorders, and how beneficial it is to provide person-centred care and rehabilitation to support individuals return to their daily lives. From the initial referral to liaising with practitioners, my role is helping residents at Bramacare to meet their physical and psychological needs by providing tailored care plans and medical support.
