Non-hospitalised Children & young people (CYP) with Long Covid (The CLoCk Study), 2021, Stephenson and Crawley

Yes, Terence Stephenson is both chair of the HRA and the PI of the 'CloCk' study (co-applicant Esther Crawley).

more resources wasted it must be nice to be paid for repeating the same endless circle .

 

Gee, that would seem to insulate her from any more scrutiny from the HRA.

I wonder if Terence Stephenson is aware of/has watched this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeujHnwsYPs

(where Esther Crawley displays the mock up threatening letter formerly used by the Times and says 'I don't have balls')
talks about the SMILE trial, MAGENTA and FITNET

so thats LP, GET and more GET............has he read the draft new NICE guidelines?

 

He was also chair of the GMC from September 2014 until January 2019 (see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terence_Stephenson and https://www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive/new-chair-of-the-general-medical-council).

He would also have been member of the Council before he became chair, so he would presumably have played a key role in adjudicating on complaints made about Dr Crawley and other members of the BPS brigade.

When Dr Myhill made her complaint about the PACE authors she asked people to write to Sir Terence as chair of the GMC in support of her complaint.

[edit: corrected dates]

 

As in chair of the HRA during the time it investigated Crawley's ethics breaches?

This Terrence Stephenson...
https://www.virology.ws/2019/09/04/trial-by-error-more-on-cochranes-new-risk-of-bias-tool/

whose head of risk dismissed Crawley's eleven ethics breaches involving children... https://www.virology.ws/wp-content/...o-concern-with-independent-panel-report-1.pdf

Also the Terence Stephenson that Dr Sarah Myhill sent her GMC complaint about the PACE authors to in 2018, supported by a petition of over 10,000 https://www.change.org/p/the-genera...s-complaint-to-the-gmc-about-the-pace-authors

Also RCPCH trustee, and president from 2009 to 2012 https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/about-us/our-team/professor-sir-terence-stephenson

"Among many other achievements, the ‘Stephenson Review’ of the UK Medicines Healthcare Regulatory Agency (2014) recommended and achieved substantial changes to improve the safety and function of the organisation. Whilst at the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges, Terence continued to work on behalf of children, being on the Board of NSPCC, the first Independent Panel Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (at the request of the Home Secretary) and Chair of the Scientific Committee of European Paediatric Association Europediatrics 2015 meeting." http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/32250/1/RCPCH 2016 Conference Programme_IF_A4_AW_ONLINE.pdf

The child abuse panel did not go well for the abuse survivors... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-30572446

I don't see any direct involvement in the RCPCH Evidence Based Guideline for the Management of CFS/ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/ Myalgic Encephalopathy) in Children and Young People
December 2004.

Seems like Terence Stephenson if an establishment figure keen to continue to follow the government line... so much so I'm wondering why he didn't get knighted yet.

(correction - he did get knighted https://www.gmc-uk.org/news/news-archive/professor-terence-stephenson-awarded-a-knighthood)

He's also contributed to the Fabricated Induced Illness by carers document - which is a form of abuse parents of children with severe ME/CFS have been accused of either if they refuse GET or if the child didn't get better or doesn't seem to match the NHS misinformation about it... I don't know about this document exactly but we do know of children sectioned in locked psych wards or forcibly removed and fostered in order to force a treatment that parents and child have declined... I've forgotten the name and year of the documentary about that. https://www.rcpch.ac.uk/sites/defau...A_Practical_Guide_for_Paediatricians_2009.pdf

He's had 2 previous GMC complaints about him https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5916065/

Back in 2011 he wrote about Swine Flu without mentioning ME and was against using surgical masks...

And guess who was a reviewer for Archives for Disease in Childhood last year... http://adc.bmj.com/pages/thank-you-to-our-reviewers/

Unsurprisingly busy at the Science Media Centre and doing TV

After Anthony Burgess' novel, I would have advised against naming any behavioral study using either the word "clock" or the word "orange."

Other quote that most children with chronic fatigue get better with support- where have we heard this before ...

Just saw Chalder was also a part of this:

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CGY631/p...-in-children-and-young-people-with-long-covid

 

What student wouldn't benefit from such mentorship?

 

He was the president of the RCPCH part of CBT studies and brought in Fabricating and Inducing Illness

 

The protocol has been published. Notable that Crawley's name isn't listed (and Chalder is also involved, I think?, also not listed). Technically Crawley is the foremost "expert" on this, this is the kind of moment in someone's career where everything comes into focus, where expertise is trusted into the spotlight. Maybe they are losing some of their influence?

Ah! I was trying to find the names who the consortium members represented but it just linked back to the same paper. Thanks.

So they hid a few names in there, Chalder included. Terry Segal is on this other "study" by Crawley as well: https://www.s4me.info/threads/in-pr...each-in-routine-practice-crawley-et-al.20930/.
