On Friday, The Academy Of Fabulous NHS Stuff shared our new Primary Care Infographic for Healthcare Professionals on their website and social media accounts. Fab NHS Stuff is an independent organisation dedicated to sharing ‘Health & Social Care Ideas, services and solutions that work.'
Press Release
A brand-new one-page infographic has been created by the ME Association to help healthcare professionals make an accurate and early diagnosis in people with ME/CFS. It includes expert information from Dr Charles Shepherd (Honorary Medical Adviser to the ME Association), and is based on the new NICE guideline on ME/CFS.
The guide provides an overview of the steps primary care practitioners should undertake and when to refer to secondary care. It contains vital information to support healthcare professionals identify ME/CFS, understand key symptoms, the type of investigations to undertake, and information relating to NHS specialist referrals.
Using our medical education budget, the ME Association can send free medical education resources to healthcare professionals who join mailing list.
