On the 29th of October, the ME Association had a display stand in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary's New Victoria Wing.
Situated in a main lobby between the Great North Children's Hospital, outpatient services (including Neurology), and the education block, the stand was seen by many staff and patients.
We were invited by the Family Health Clinical Board in response to comments from a parent, and they intend to arrange for a patient to give a lived experience presentation for staff.
We are also looking at opportunities to develop use of our resources with them and other hospital bodies.
We have been invited to attend with a display in the future, plus we are also now in contact with a Long Covid clinician and researcher in Newcastle
One visitor to the stand was Kate Stanforth, who left working with us part-time to form her own business working as a disabled dancer, model, educator and enabler for dance-oriented activities with disabled people
