I don’t know how to begin to find out

Apparently there is some doubt now about the origins of this story. I haven’t checked further. I shared in shock.

Saw this on Twitter. Rather shocked. Parking it here. DWP it seems has many ways to get at the disabled. :(

Could you check it now. Seems I copied the link in wrongly... Hoping it works now Edit: Thank you both for the alert @Invisible Woman @MeSci

I have taken the decision to share what I wrote in my letter to the GMC on my blog. I hope by doing so others might be encouraged to also write in with their own experiences: http://sallyjustme.blogspot.co.uk/2018/03/supporting-dr-myhills-pace-trial.html

I think it's impossible to say things in a manner that keeps every one happy. It seems every patient has their own individual peeves - for me, I hate the words "tired" and "fatigue". :P And speaking on radio cannot be easy when the responses have to be formulated and delivered in the heat of...

Yes. Probably to do with our devolved government.

I thought that was just the deadline for the Jan meeting. As I understand it stakeholder groups can apply at any time. Would just need to be before deadline for application for next stakeholder meeting.

I wonder about the Yellow Card system. Why does it not apply to psychosocial therapies? http://sallyjustme.blogspot.co.uk/2018/02/yellow-cards-psycho-social-therapies.html

I did mine this morning. Going to re-read it later today before sending it. Agree it would be good to have a flood more of them.

Slight sideline from PACE but relevant: I wonder if it might be worth asking about the Yellow card system, and why it can only be used for drugs and medical interventions. It doesn't seem to apply to psychological therapies. I need to find the link again. But this seems very pertinent, if...

I tried to tweet some stuff from the debate. All told though I thought Carol Monaghan was totally amazing! She didn't "miss and hit the wall" as the saying goes. Right to the point from the very beginning. Thanks also to my MP Jim Shannon for attending and asking a question early on about...

The added benefit of the Gala Pork Pie is that you can also end up with egg on your face. :laugh:

I did a tweet:

I "think" I read somewhere that the Lay members are a people who have applied to be on the Lay team (or something like that). They are not specific to anyone guideline or purpose, but can be asked to act as Lay participants when and where required. So maybe the post on this panel was...

I have just finished filling in the Online system for my expenses.... I guess it might be easier second time around (if that happens), but it's a bit of a faff to say the least.

It is also unreasonable I think. It creates a huge amount of work for those looking at FOI requests - ie assessing multiple organisations for their capabilities, instead of just looking at the organisation to which the FOI applies. Could this be challenged on principle??

So from this quote it would seem that a "lowest common denominator" effect has to be taken regarding the capability of staff. Surely, "if you have the staff capable of doing the task, use them", would be a much less convoluted means of achieving fairness. Why does - what all public...

I was thinking about these Birthday and Christmas cards. What message was sent along with them? Did they include thanks to the participants for being part of such a great great trial? Did they tell participants how the therapies were proving such a success? I wonder. Does anyone know?
