Not always us that have kicked these events off. to be fair. Most of these have started as individual efforts. But we are learning. :)

You know you helped craft that statement right @Ravn ? Thanks everyone that gave input. Drumroll.... there is also another article coming out about the difficulty of getting support from WINZ. Hopefully this week.

It would have been good if I had thought of doing some research on that! I think it is probably in the $10,000s. And I know that right at the start (tapanui flu era) requests for promising research were declined. Where might we be now, if that research had happened!?

We have an opportunity people, and would appreciate your wisdom /media release writing skills. Another article on ME is about to be published in a NZ publication, and M.E. Awareness NZ has been asked for an official comment about the state of funding for ME research in NZ. (Prof Tate has been...

Thanks @Tom Kindlon for the prompt! M.E. Awareness NZ did share info about the donation opportunity on twitter earlier in the year. But we linked to our facebook page, as Prof Tate's page didn't have any info about what he was studying (and our facebook post did). There was also a typo in the...

Thanks @Hutan, I guess at this stage we recommend the other non-cme material is done on an individual basis and with the professionals applying for credits personally.

@Hutan perhaps our partnership funding could cover you doing this course so we can have it reviewed?

Very interested to hear if any Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists or Exercise Psychologists have done this training and provided feedback? @PhysiosforME? And if any ME/CFS experts have reviewed the content. I understand that Workwell Foundation recommend this (were involved in it's...

Apologies for only doing a shallow dive into the research documents. When will I ever learn!? :) I did give her some initial feedback last night. But haven't heard back.

Thanks @Hutan. So grateful for the way that you could link presenters to the themes :)

@Gretel @theJOYdecision @Dolvi18 @Ravn

I have started a thread to discuss ideas for presenters /sessions for the 2020 RNZCGP /WONCA conference in Auckland, NZ in April 2020. Submissions close 31st October 2019.

Intro: M.E. Awareness NZ are investigating how we can bring quality education sessions on ME/CFS to the 2020 RNZCGP (Royal NZ College of GPs) conference (perhaps cover MUS also?). This conference is being combined with WONCA Asia Pacific, so there will be a lot of overseas GPs attending as...

@Gretel @Dolvi18

Admins @Trish @Andy @Hutan Are you aware of anyone that has reviewed this CME that I could talk to about ? Or encourage to put their feedback here? Are there things missing or not misleading that would require notes to be provided alongside the courses? M.E. Awareness NZ is actively looking...
