This is basically it. The intention is to ultimately have a set of minimum standards, such as mandated PEM and proper exclusions. The exclusions...
The plan is that there will be three modules, each covering a different severity. I was in the meetings and there was a lot of debate about this,...
Exactly. And on a slightly fatuous note: Gender Exploratory Therapy = GET. So... Maybe Sir Simon has a thing for people GETting it?
The downgrading I don't have a particular issue with. My issue is more with what's used to "fill the gaps". E.g., there are trials that weren't...
