If you've been thinking about taking part in this survey now is the time as it closes next week. Keen to understand both positive and negative experiences of tvns in #MECFS and #LongCovid

There’s a *very* pragmatic and important reason why ME/CFS must be included in this.

At least 50% of pwLC meet the diagnostic criteria for ME. We know that.

With the end of funded covid testing, Long Covid as a diagnosis will dwindle. Ppl are already not getting LC diagnosed.

Fabulous guide explaining why exercise causing PEM/PESE is worse than losing fitness through not exercising in #LongCovid - it’s NOT caused by deconditioning!

Muscle strength can be regained when healthy but isn’t worth making PEM worse if you experience it.

My #pttwitter and #medtwitter colleagues, please see #BringMillieHome for an egregious example of how poorly people with myalgic encephalomyelitis #severeME are treated in our medical system. People who are suffering so greatly deserve our commitment to basic care and dignity.

Disappointed with this report from The King's Fund

Given their opening line of 'Given a growing & ageing population, the NHS & social care sector need a lot of staff to deliver quality health care...'

To omit AHP's from their reporting is a error! 1/3 biggest group in the NHS!

In this month’s The BMA magazine, The Doctor Magazine, Ben Jaxen Ireland writes about how for many people, the chance to recover at home is a much better option than hospital.

One for UK Hospital at Home Society and British Geriatrics Society members to read, as well as managers & general public.
