I suggest that caution is required before too readily attributing unprofessionalism to other charities. The words mote and beam spring to mind....
Are we sure that a representative has not already been selected? Someone seems to have been attending Forward ME meetings, or giving apologies for...
We should be comforted by the fact that the Countess of Mar's new advisor is happy to see further psychiatric research provided it is accompanied...
I suspect that we should all agree with Sharpe's last quoted tweet about the implicit meaning of calling an illness "mental". What I fail to...
There are times when Afme looks more like a Quango than a patient charity.
Thanks for that response @Russell Fleming . I understand the constraints. In the interests of clarification I did start a post enumerating the...
