There was always going to be a limit beyond which the SMC could continue its exclusion of other voices - there are number of things that have contributed to the limit being reached, of course the Guideline itself has moved things along but the institutions that back the SMC aren't going to be...

Comes into the class of 'not even wrong'.

But 'you' didn't think it collegiate to ascertain what the other parties to those discussions think before staking your particular claim ?

Which raises the question "if the NHS isn't using GET, then what is the evidence that the use of this 'other' treatment is of any benefit ? Edit to restore quotes

There's a balance to be made between maintaining momentum and analysing what has passed so as to inform progress; I'd always err on the side of momentum. Unless one is very, very good at presenting balanced histories, dredging around in past wrongs frequently comes out as no more edifying than...

I don't think this has been posted yet: Technology Networks: Neuroscience news - https://www.technologynetworks.com/neuroscience/news/health-body-scraps-graded-exercise-therapy-recommendation-for-mecfs-355265 The UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has released...

A clinician can't just switch a patient's diagnosis on whim - it would have to take place within some sort of process involving the patient and within which informed consent would be foundational. Changing diagnosis would implicitly involve a change in the treatment and care plan that the...

Homeopathy is recognised as a real medical discipline in India - which is where the authors are based. It's just a desk review so no real costs in putting this study together but Indian research funds go into this area. https://www.nhp.gov.in/homeopathy_mty I'm afraid the homeopathy belief...

Just to note that my powers of prediction remain undiminished :laugh:

Yes. Also, depending on what the public relations thinking is (if any) at NICE, there may be a wish to take the best opportunity for a media splash, in which case avoiding the Budget and COP26 would be essential to escape being drowned by political blancmange, young people trying at least to...

There's a threatened JR for which no claim has yet been filed and which following the announcements post the round table is redundant in its own terms, at least as presented in the letter before claim. As such it simply wouldn't get past the first stage of JR.

Not sure I have all that much a grasp on anything - but: While NICE has a duty publish and promote its Guidelines it has no authority to make anyone take notice. It is a mistake to believe that the either the NHS or the Public Health services in the UK are constructed in any sort of joined up...

The Journal of General Internal Medicine[1][2] is the official journal of the Society of General Internal Medicine[3] The SGIM seems a mostly US based entity and has no obvious links to the UK BPS group, though its 3000+ members are said to be international. When the article is eventually...

I'm afraid this just repeats the lie that it's possible to get ever more efficiency from a low investment system that is facing ever increasing demand. The NHS has been for almost all it's existence the most efficient health system in the world for any comparable country. The US which has the...

That's the problem with trying to deal with an issue like that on Social Media - the side that feels it is under attack invariably goes into defence mode. I'd suggest the only way - and it may not be successful - to have Findlay disaccepted, will be via letters/email to the Chair setting out...

This is of no consequence and perhaps it is a sound representational image - but I hate that header photo*. Can't we for once be represented as being active despite the pain (or whatever) - and not perpetually passive ? *apologies to the subject who is very striking and as a photo it is a...
