Bookmarked. Thank you for sharing, glad that someone is looking at this.
Lol, thanks! A clear sign I need to take a rest and put my feet up, I knèw it was next month the first time I saw it, and then somehow after the...
This looks like it will happen today right? Is this good? My uneducated guess says it seems so.
By "It" you mean the roundtable? I'm not very familiar with UK political structure, but I find it rather encouraging for a "Parliamentary...
Do I understand it correctly that this is an answer from Mrs. Churchill/her departement? Because then I also like the reminder that NICE is...
Completely. They are literally saying that because the "structural pathology" is unclear, it is therefore non-organic, the patients having...
Thanks for the hearty laugh this morning @Dx Revision Watch and @SNT Gatchaman! It was very welcome.

I can only speak for the earliest years (<1993), but while technically true it is not in two of her earliest papers about the therapy to...
Problematic piece. Some of its arguing mirrors the arguments made by Wessely and Sharpe in the early stages of BPS takeover. E.g. Calling it...
Ah, yes, thanks @Simbindi , I see I was looking at a "petition update" page, which by itself isn't very persuasive. I thought it was a second one,...
I'm not sure what the petition is for, apart from venting. It doesn't have a goal like e.g. #ReleaseTheGuidelines based on clear arguments like...
Indeed. I would not call this "opaque". Jonathan Edwards is presented as an expert in clinical trials, and then by (weirdly) placing the word NICE...
"CBT....should only be offered to support patients in dealing with the anxiety of being ill." (Italics mine) If that is what the end text will...
CORRECTION ( @FMMM1 ): She was health minister and vice prime minister for 8 years until 2002 after which she took positions as president of the...
