UK CMRC 2018 Conference held September 19 & 20 at Bristol

This is on today. I wonder if anyone is tweeting from it?

Oh yes, AfME: https://twitter.com/actionforme?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

 

Interesting tweets about Dr Muirhead's talk - she's a doctor who got ME. Worth a look!

 

Well, let's hope so but how long have we been waiting for "high-quality work"?

Although on the flip side this seems to be him acknowledging that the work previously hasn't been high-quality.

 

Slightly unfortunate timing, what with the NICE Guideline Committee recruiting lay members as well at the moment.

Here's a search on the hashtag they're using for the conference:

Dr Moreau's presentation on microRNAs sounds very interesting - looking forward to seeing it on YouTube.

 

The lay members have been selected now. It's at the reference checks stage.

 

Do you know when their names will be released? Can’t help thinking these will be a very important group.

 

Any chance of posting them for those of us who don’t tweet?

ETA: Action for ME have posted some. If you scroll down a fair way, dr Muirhead’s are there. She wants a postgraduate certificate in ME/cfs.

 

Revolution is the key word and so far my main criticism of both U.K. and USA has been the wish by the establishment to slowly evolve. That’s not enough, there’s been years, p‍** about. The CMRC should have had an agressive, entirely pro biomedical research emphasis from onset, with no Esther Crawley PACE AND GET are great stuff at the top. Holgate, broad tent champion and wessely supporter, was the man behind it all here and I’d say in America Collins too is too keen to slowly let it evolve rather than do what’s needed pronto which is clear message that it’s biological, complex , Serious and a pot of funds to stimulate research.

 

It was advertised in June. Applications closed in July. Several on here applied.

 

I believe that those who have been turned down heard on Monday.

 

My, unexpressed, point was that some who might have applied for the CMRC position may not now due to being selected for the NICE Guideline position.

 

Yes. But given that the application process is now over, those same people might be able to recycle their last application for CMRC. At least, that's how I'd do it.
