They get 3000 SEK for a patient's first visit with a doctor at the clinic, and 1 600 SEK for the following visits (much less for physios, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, dieticians etc). Compared to 150 SEK for a phone appointment with a doctor, and 650 SEK for a digital...

Not that I know of. The contract was problematic from the very beginning, and even worse so after the changes in 2018. It's simply not realistic, the amount of money the clinic is offered by the county council doesn't anywhere near reflect the reality of what it costs to care for ME patients...

The Swedish covid patient organisation is intentionally trying very hard to distance themselves from ME and pwME, and their lobbying is along the same lines... They are explicitly calling for exceptions just for themselves as a group, regarding medical care, sickness benefits etc. They don't...

Update posted yesterday by Liberalerna:

Here's an example from Sweden. A columnist/writer/nurse comments on a recently published BPS book on ME: Apropos bias, she recently wrote a book herself, about the replication crisis and bad research,... :rolleyes:

It's absolutely devastating news, a massive loss, very very sad :cry: It's by far Sweden's best biomedical ME clinic, especially for people with severe/very severe ME, and some of the best ME professionals in the country are working there, like Per Julin and Ewa Wadhagen Wedlund. It's...

Congrats on your publication :) I was able to download it :) Thank you so much :thumbsup:

A slightly different kind of symptoms list by Dr Hng: For those of you who are unable or unwilling to visit Facebook, the same list is available on Google Drive:

Article in a Swedish newspaper about Anna Amholt, a 20 years old professional ice hockey player who has been ill for more than 220 days. (ME is not mentioned.) Aftonbladet: Coronasjuk i 220 dagar – läggs in på sjukhus...

You don't have to be in the UK to participate in the online interview part of the project. International participants are welcome.

I think it's really important to remember that without the advocacy that has been done, we might have been in an even worse situation than we currently are. Successful advocacy isn't just about affecting change that moves us forward, it's equally important (if not more) to make sure things...

Ditto.
