1/5 Please support our petition. #pwME are calling for a yellow card scheme where treatments offered by NHS services can be monitored and reported if harms are caused.
Such schemes exist in place for drug therapies but not for exercise prescription.

2/5 This means alot to me, obviously I prescribed exercise as part of my clinical practice. I was a competitive athlete most my life and whilst accessing diagnostics, being prescribed graded exercise made me severly disabled. Something I advocated for, is detrimental to #pwME
3/5 We debunked Graded Exercise Therapy and CBT from the treatment guidelines last week. But the doctors who have been prescribing these therapies and ignoring patients complaints of harms for decades, are insistent on continuing regardless of NICE updating their guidelines.
4/5 This type of arrogance only persists when accountability is lacking. We need a system that holds these doctors, institutions&royal colleges accountable for their refusal to update their knowledge on the science that's emerged since the previous guideline was set back in 2007
5/5 The world has moved on and proven how far behind these GET supporters are. As doctors it is their duty to remain up to date with emerging science. It is their duty of care to "First Do No Harm".
We need a system that enforces this.
Please sign the petition.
Thank you !
