Hi

Could you explain where this came from, and when, and your reason for posting it please? I have an interest in this and we’ve had a few other threads, I’m not immediately seeing what this thread is about or why it’s happened today.
There was criticism a while back of a care and support plan designed by a clinician from BACME. I had a look at the guidance on care and support plans in the NICE guideline and wrote a hypothetical example of a care plan based on the NICE headings about a patient I called Fred and posted it on our thread discussion. I wanted to demonstrate the idea that care and support plans should be about the medical, care and practical needs of the pwME, it should be written by a clinician, probably a specialist nurse with the pwME and focus on what Fred needs and who is going to ensure he gets his needs met it accessibly.

John Lobb contacted me to ask if he could use the example as the basis of designing a care and support plan for use in their local NHS ME/CFS service. This is the result, I suggested it be shared on the forum.

So this is an example we’ve generated here - it’s a S4ME guidance, example and template? Or an NHS version? Sorry it’s still not clear.
Which area is it that has a specialist nurse?
 
No, it's not an S4ME care plan, it just uses with my permission a hypothetical case example I suggested. They have changed it a bit. The structure is based on NICE.
I'll leave it to John Lobb to say any more about where it might be used.

I think it needs some kind of title as tow where it’s from/owned as otherwise how would anyone know?

Apologies for the delay and lack of information. The thread has now been updated. This is from the Suffolk GP Federation website.
 
Still not clear. Could the full explanation be put in the OP please.
I'm not sure what you're not clear about, can you explain.
It's a template care plan on the Suffolk GP website for use with their ME/CFS patients. The bit about some of it being based on a hypothetical case I made up is not really relevant, I just added it for interest. The main point really is it's based on the NICE guideline outline of what a care plan should include.

I think it's worth sharing here for others to see, as they may be confronted with BACME style care plans that may be useless and inappropriate. From what we have seen from BACME, and now the added layer of the MEA Tyson clinical toolkit, care plans produced by some ME/CFS clinic in the UK are that are more about filling in questionnaires and the patient being told what to do and stupid things like goal setting.

Care planning should be about ensuring joined up services overseen by someone like a specialist nurse who can ensure the pwME gets provision of the medical and care support they need, and specialist help from well informed carers, dietician, physician or whatever they need.
