2021 NICE guideline for ME/CFS

You can find the 3-page summary from our Chair Carolyn about the NICE guideline for ME/CFS released in October 2021. This article was published in the Winter 2021 edition of our members' magazine.

​

You can find the 28-page summary from the ME Association written by Dr Charles Shepherd.

Dr Shepherd gave a talk and Q&A to our Group in March 2022 about the implementation of the NICE guideline. He kindly provided a short bullet-point handout of the guideline, and the recording of his talk can be found here.

​

Following our successful #SpeakUp campaign with Healthwatch Sheffield, we have worked in consultation with our members to co-produce an information sheet for GPs and other healthcare practitioners. This sheet outlines the key recommendations for treating ME/CFS from the updated NICE guideline (2021).

​

We are keen to ensure that all GPs in the area have up to date information about the illness, and are aware of what support is appropriate - and inappropriate - to offer.  We would be really grateful if you could help us by sharing the sheet with your GP, and letting us know which GP practice you have shared it with.
