In this third episode of our Learn about ME podcast series, we hear from, Dr Nina Muirhead, creator of the Learn about ME CPD learning module and, Dr Gregor Purdie, about the importance of highlighting the changes in the newly updated NICE guideline on ME/CFS: diagnosis and management. They are joined by, Helen, who lives with ME and who volunteers for The 25% ME group. Helen shares her experience in order to encourage healthcare professionals to implement the changes in the guideline. We hope this episode can increase the likelihood of people with ME getting appropriate care and support.

In the second episode in our Learn about ME podcast series we are exploring Long Covid and how the study of this condition can impact on our understanding of ME/CFS. We hear from Dr David Strain who plays a leading role in the BMA’s response to Long Covid; Dr Nina Muirhead, creator of the Learn about ME CPD learning module and Alec Finlay who has lived with M.E. and now has Long Covid. We hope that this information can help health and social care professionals to offer appropriate support to people living with either condition.
