Presumably in theory a medical opinion that the so called rehabilitation was a risk to your health would prevent DWP from enforcing it but you would need to find a doctor able and willing to give such an opinion against DWP. And presumably DWP could chose to challenge it and would it not then...

I have gradual onset so not exactly sure when ME started I was told by a specialist at least 10 years ago. I was diagnosed with CFS 3 years so. Before that I had a minor depression diagnosis and had been on Prozac since 14 years ago. Prozac neither prevented me getting ME or improved it. I...

Absolutely did not all about reducing health anxiety and saving money didn’t specify that was from fewer GP visits but.......

In the UK community centres that provided youth clubs spaces for keep fit pensioners groups erc which have been funded by local authorities as community/social service have been slashed. Because health funding has a higher status and a bit harder to slash to the same extent it makes sense for...

short report on local news tonight promoting the MUS/psychology agenda Local news is only on Iplayer for 24 hours and not downloadable I will email them asking for a transcript. A woman was shown who feels she benefited from a short course of CBT. She talks about going undiagnosed for several...

Not a doctor - how shallow is that

It’s not just the Brits then

Yes @Stewart strikes me as high risk too for the same reasons you mentioned. After all drawing attention to the arguments certainly backfired with Mike Godwin didn’t it.

Shows you’re making inroads @dave30th or they wouldn’t be doing this ETA presumably timed to take the gloss off the positive PR for ME community from the commons debate.

I’m sceptical about the value of feedback questionnaires from experience of training evaluation at my old employer and from CFS/me clinic. ETA. I mean in the sense that training providers tend to use of on the spot “happy sheets”. I recognise the value in evaluation using anonymised surveys...

If I was @dave30th senior person at Berkeley who had been asked by Bristol hierarchy to have a word with D I would be very tempted to give them a call back to ask if they need any help with their inquiry :whistle:

I take 1mg too as I read on a PR thread that worked for long term usevtogether with taking regular breaks of a few nights. My friend who was bringing them from the USA was told by Walgreens that the 1mg are only used for kids and they didn’t have any in stock so she had to go elsewhere. I...

Yes Wizard of Oz springs to mind people need to see behind the curtain

Yes the MUS approach should be properly assessed for financial cost and what impact it has on patients physical and mental health.

My extremely simplistic take is MUS is mainly an issue around the ethos it promotes among GPs to avoid diagnosis of conditions and deal with symptoms only. As I was directly told by a young GP we don’t find it helpful to give that diagnosis- CFS - it’s best to treat the symptoms. In my opinion...

I’m confused are there two different versions of the same product or two different products?

Is this the same training material that’s being discussed on the other thread?

Good stuff @Trish and @dave30th. It will be a very good test of AFMEs capability to deBPS their content.
