It would be interesting to determine whether there is a correlation between the extent of orthistatic intolerance, disproportionate increases in heart rate on becoming upright, and symptoms of this sort in an individual, and a propensity to develop PEM from triggers like sound sensitivity and...

Apparently they have also been the subject of a series of DDoS attacks, separate to the hack.

They did create a media guideline in PDF format last year that they sought feedback on, but the final document was still problematic in a number of respects if memory serves. I don't know what the status of it is now, or if it was put to use...

Tonight (Monday 9 Sept) at 9:00pm on ITV1 a one hour programme called 'Mr Bates vs the Post Office: The Impact' will be aired, in which former subpostmasters talk about the impact of the drama.

It runs from 6am to 9:30am weekday mornings on BBC1 and is one of the main breakfast television programmes in the UK that runs regular news, current affairs and interest pieces, the main alternative on terrestrial channels being Good Morning Britain on ITV. I would think it gets good general...

I had a look and compared the published document with the draft media guideline and the feedback email I sent. A number of the items of feedback have been incorporated or partly incorporated, albeit sometimes inconsistently, but a number haven't been taken up. In places, the English also needs...

Thanks, @Peter Trewhitt. I sent that email back in September, before AfME's deadline for feedback, which I think was the 12th September. I've edited the post above to make this clear.

As there wasn't time to potentially organise something through S4ME, before the deadline for feedback (edit: in September 2022) I sent an email to the specified address providing feedback on the draft media guideline. To ensure AfME had sight of the feedback on this thread I also tried in my own...

Covid: Last chance for adults under 50 to get booster 4 February 2023 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-64496025

Abstract: SARS-CoV-2 causes profound changes in the sense of smell, including total smell loss. Although these alterations are often transient, many patients with COVID-19 exhibit olfactory dysfunction that lasts months to years. Although animal and human autopsy studies have suggested...

I agree with @CRG, it's unclear to me whether the 10 point guideline is being replaced, supplemented or is the draft handbook. I agree with @Hutan's points. A few additional ones on the content from a quick read through this evening. Why these guidelines are necessary Makes it sound that being...
