Yeah, I can’t drive so I was pleased to hear about this. I suppose I have to do hospitality training. Or bricklaying. It feels like the question “how can we get more disabled people, unable to work, into jobs?” Had been given to a group of contestants on The Apprentice. They had half a day to...

Oh no, the person has to go up in an evac chair.

Erm - no. I’ve seen a stressed facilities manager offer to do that and they got a serious dressing down from the power chair user.

Oh in that case they’ve learned a useful lesson. Not one that the good Dr needed to learn again, though.

Yes the exploration of alternatives seems lacking. I’d guess they were just in some student Union room and they have the tiny lifts in the old building. Just shows that the organisers who invited him are in need of some serious training, they should be ashamed.

I can imagine a lot of Edinburgh Uni is inaccessible to be honest.

Nail on head, that report. I know there was a bad experience with a CEO in the past, but they just need proper oversight by trustees, CEO’s get ousted all the time.

So I do think that the issue is semantics. Some people are using a word in one way that isn’t the same as another person would use it. To take responsibility seems to mean you should change your illness/not be ill. Well we know that isn’t possible. Let’s think about the opposite. What does it...

The behaviour from MEA over and at that meeting was despicable. I guess this is partly why.

I liked the blog and I understand nothing about science

If only we were like them (psychiatrists) and not like ourselves!

I wish someone would ask PG if he would be open to the idea that his views are nothing special and would he consider not boring everyone with them.

He has been appointed as a parliamentary champion Discussion here Post in thread 'United Kingdom: Action for ME (AfME) news' https://www.s4me.info/threads/united-kingdom-action-for-me-afme-news.18538/post-645466

Yes I’m glad there have been good “food for thought” points to make people think twice. He is, of course, most remembered for cutting Dr’s pay and unprecedented strikes as a result of his policy. On the face of it he would seem like the enemy of healthcare. As I say, I believe he will be a good...

I wonder whether there’s a Sajid Javid link? Whilst the Conservatives are not thought of as being our natural champions, Jeremy Hunt does not just take on extra responsibility without good reason.

At the risk of being political, whilst he was problematic as Health Secretary as a politician he is very solid, and I actually think this is both interesting and quite good. I’m not really in a position to explain why, so let’s see what happens.

Sadly I think they know all of this and are ok with it. Also if you say this kind of thing you’ll be accused of hysteria

I found here after becoming fed up with the MEA on socials announcing a new study which shows that something something definitely breakthrough etc. never to be hear of again. I would be no use in a cult or MLM, if you keep telling me the Wow Best Ever thing is happening and it keeps “not...

I wish he’d try anything other than being whatever this is.

I’m not going to write what I think as I will just make work for the mods. Suffice to say, he is a sea lion. I’m glad Sarah has called out the grief hijacking and clout chasing. No need to use my feed for self-promotion Paul Garner. I am very well aware of your position and we all know how...
