🧵 Parliament is (finally) back in full swing and it’s good to see a round of questions focused on ME and Long Covid. Big thanks to @BellRibeiroAddy, @DrBenSpencer @SharonHodgsonMP
What have we learned?
1️⃣ There are no current plans from NICE to update the 2021 guideline for managing Long Covid
3️⃣ The gov expects healthcare commissioners to take the 2021 Nice Guideline for ME/CFS “fully into account” and “work towards their implementation over time”
6️⃣ The prevention of future deaths report from #Maeveinquest is being reviewed by DHSC. It is ‘being considered’, they will ‘respond appropriately’ and ‘it is important we learn the lessons’
Hello #ThereForME friends and followers! You may already have seen some of the exciting stuff we have going for #WorldPatientSafetyDay today w/@BinitaKane 🙌
A short 🧵..... (1/)
We are delighted to have @BinitaKane collaborate with #ThereForME on a letter sent today to @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk from over 200 healthcare workers.
If you wanted a list of healthcare workers that are #ThereForME - this is it! Full text 👇
@BinitaKane @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk #ME patients simply cannot rely on safe and appropriate care from the NHS - we wanted to highlight this on #WorldPatientSafetyDay
Big thanks to @eleanorhayward for writing up the letter for @thetimes (p2 in print!)
