They probably thought they'd win in the end. But it's clinically risky for them to keep this out of date info on their websites, because it makes...
They shouldn't be calling it GET in any case. The NICE GL defines what GET is and says not to offer it. It also says risks and benefits must be...
This video is a great idea. Well done, #MEAction!
The way they pick reviewers is also problematic. NICE at least strives for a balanced and representative guideline development committee, with a...
Charities are already on this, as are NICE.
My understanding is that charities are now focussing on implementation--i.e., how to get the clinics to actually do what's in the guidelines. I...
As Sally and I said, several committee members surprised us. But it's hard to know whether they changed their minds for sure. Maybe some of them...
This person at the clinic is clearly in contravention of GL rec 1.11.11: "Tell people about the risks and benefits of physical activity and...
And there's the fact that RCPsych completely misused their references. Nearly every one said the opposite of what they claimed, or had nothing to...
Exactly this. NICE was quite clever, really, because without NHS staff represented it would've been so much easier to reject the whole GL. And...
I'm not sure if anyone changed their views. Rather, I think people thought certain things were untenable with the current evidence base. Then...
I think a lot of them don't follow up, interpret worsening as noncompliance or catastrophising of 'normal setbacks', or just hear what they want...
You might be unique in this. Most people have fluctuations, yes, but I'm not sure they vacillate so quickly and clearly.
I'll have a look at what it requires and what I can write. Thank you!
Here's what I know: the three resigners had all signed off on the GL in meetings. The reasons for resigning were varied and I think external...
That's fantastic news!
NICE didn't commission the survey; Forward ME did. That's an error of fact which has been repeated a few times. We should be as accurate as we can.
Yeah, they didn't note their own COIs, of course. Exactly. NICE realised they couldn't have people who were experts and who didn't have opinions....
On this last one, it's simple: we wouldn't prescribe a drug if we didn't know the ingredients. Why should LP be any different?
My feeling has always been: if you've known people are doing these treatments wrong for over 20 years, why haven't you done anything about it, and...
