1) Virtual conference on Supporting Patients Living with #longCovid: https://www.healthcareconferencesuk.co.uk/conferences-masterclasses/covid-long-term-effects

Wed 9 December

Speakers include: Dr Clare Gerada, Prof Lynne Turner-Stokes and Professor Trudie Chalder. All prominent advocates of graded exercise therapy (GET) and CBT for ME/CFS.

2) The new NICE draft Guideline on ME/CFS states that patients should not be given GET or CBT as a treatment: https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/GID-NG10091/documents/draft-guideline

#LongHaulers may question whether those who have promoted these treatments for ME should be advising on #LongCovid.

3) Highly recommended reading for anyone with #LongCovid – and anyone with an interest in standards in clinical research. https://twitter.com/roberthmcmullen/status/1326633085274877955
