This is joint initiative between NHS England (NHSE) and the British Society of Physical and Rehabilitative Medicine (BSPRM). It is a professional society for clinicians and researchers working in Long Covid and other post-viral conditions. The ME Association is a member of the stakeholder group and Russell Fleming (MEA Head of Project Development) attended the first meeting yesterday. It was good to share many of the same concerns in regard to the need for better medical education and improved secondary care services with colleagues who were supporting people with Long Covid. There was a genuine feeling that we need to come together to improve healthcare for all. We discussed the trend towards merging or developing combined ME/CFS and Long Covid specialist services in England and Wales and recognised the need to bring the patient voice to healthcare commissioners and service developers. Future meetings will build upon these themes and the group's concerns and recommendations will be raised with the clinical leadership team.
