Went on an ME/CFS course here. Their understanding of ME/CFS was surface level and outdated, and the tools being taught applied more to chronic fatigue (the symptom alone) than ME/CFS. They hosted a similar course upstairs in a building without lift access. The demographics questionnaire featured outdated language and lack of understanding around gender/ orientation and ethnic groups.

Poor service, not meeting NICE guidelines, no Consultant. Physio nearly killed me, they had no idea what ME was, stating ME was chronic fatigue & was not recognised by WHO as a neurological condition
