Appending here... my review of Module 3 from last year: bsky.app/profile/luci...
I've just had a look at this module.

To my unexpert eye it looks reasonably OK.

The important thing to remember though is that this is not/should not be a replacement for proper clinical training in this area (of which there is none).

It does at least raise awareness among staff.
The third NHS ME/cfs e-Learning module was published last week, shortly after #Justice4ME launched.
Written by Dr David Strain, only those with a government, NHS or academic work email address have access. Why? Who did Strain consult with?

Just before I received the email about the FOIA request, I was looking at the Agreed Actions of the #MEDeliveryPlan again.

Some of the things I noticed, I've already mentioned in my thread on the FOIA data, but here's another thing that stood out.

It was one of the items on Research:

As Karen points out in her blog, the lack of (or extreme difficulty obtaining) CHC funding for people with very severe ME is another failure of the #MEDeliveryPlan.

The Plan simply does not mention it.

Astounding. 😖

In this week's #ThereForME blog our co-founder @karenlhargrave.bsky.social writes about the challenges she and her husband James have faced accessing NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.

She explains why CHC funding for very severe ME is an issue that deserves attention.

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Can anyone remember an old animation about little people in glass jars a bit like Small Prophets? I'm thinking Eastern European folk story type thing. The people may have been animated paper shapes. Possibly gold? A bit like Bagpuss would have in his story sections.

Thank you for your efforts. Advocacy groups and people with ME/CFS should be asking all medical schools to provide similar information. Schools that do not have an updated curriculum or no curriculum at all could be picketed on ME/CFS awareness day. Medical schools hate bad publicity.

Great video. The homes are thoughtful, attractive and well designed. Khan is eloquent and considerate. Much more like this please.
A real pleasure to meet George Clarke and hear about his experiences growing up on a council estate. We both know the positive impact social housing can have on families’ lives.

That’s why I’m determined to continue delivering more council homes as we build a fairer London for everyone.

I recognise that there is a conflict here, between orgs that provide advocacy (need to adhere to strict protocols for privacy, confidentiality, etc) and individuals providing advocacy (as friends or fellow sufferers, for whom those boundaries may not seem so apparent).

There is too big a void.
That would be useful, as many of us are at a loss as to what to do.

Use only water or fresh air on tear gas or pepper spray.

No milk, vinegar, antacids, urine, etc. and especially not in eye.

It took considerable courage for the jury in the Palestine Action trial to ignore the demands to convict from the judge, government, police and media and instead to weigh the actual evidence.
