I wonder how much of this 'investigative journalism' has been stirred up to try and distract @dave30th from the work he wanted to do around IAPT and MUS? How much of his valuable time has been lost to addressing all this cr*p? As you can see from the below link, MUS are now being firmly...

I agree absolutely. These are highly paid, experienced medical healthcare professionals. I personally know many people who are working in low paid care worker roles (in mental health support) who receive face to face death threats from their 'clients' on a regular basis. These workers are not...

This ongoing insanity from the government has been thoroughly dissected by the Spartacus report: https://spartacusnetwork.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/richardsonbenstead-smokescreen-2017.pdf It is a consciously chosen strategy to promote an ideological agenda, not about true compassion and...

It is a bit off topic now. However, one thing that underlies the Green Paper on welfare reform for those on ESA is that is is based on the same kind of pseudoscience as is the BPS model of ME (and the RCGP training). I think there is a huge can of worms here. I will try to make comments relating...

The latest report on the 2017 Green Paper on Welfare Reform for disabled and sick people (incorporating the responses to the consultation) show where the government are currently at in their desire to bring about change in this area...

Maybe we could convince the tea industry to do a study on this - the efficacy of CBT vs a nice cuppa in x,y, z conditions? It'd be impossible to blind and the outcomes would be subjective, but that would fit nicely with the current research methodology used in this area of 'science'.

In the words of Matt Hancock: Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Matt Hancock said: “Personalised care is the future and there’s growing evidence that supporting people to access community services and activities, such as chess clubs or dance classes, has the power to improve people’s...

It may be because they didn't realise this training could (currently) be accessed free by any member of the public. I originally subscribed to the RCGP site to try to access their GP training on autism, because the autistic self-advocacy community are aware of the problems of many such 'basic'...

There is published guidance on this, for those unsure of the system in England (I'm not sure if it covers all the UK): https://www.ntw.nhs.uk/content/uploads/2015/12/NTWC05-App1-ConsPts-DrsMakingDecisions-V04.5-Iss-1-Jan-19.pdf and...

Also, for those like me who only learnt this today - the wife of Simon Wessely (See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clare_Gerada)
