The idea of GRADE to provide a recipe for making decisions for people who are not themselves capable of making such decisions on their own is a flawed and dangerously counterproductive idea in a medical context.
The pseudo-arithmetic structure of allocating evidence to 'grades' has no purpose...

Two questions:
(1) Does the DWP accept reports from private consultants as medical evidence? I mean like, will they be snobby about it and not take it seriously if it's not from the NHS?
(2) Do they usually contact your GP? I've had very little contact with GP in last few years, and when I...

Dear registered stakeholder,
RE: Call for evidence on myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome
We need more information to help us develop this NICE guideline.
We invite registered stakeholders, and other individuals and...
Not about ME but the general evidence basis for CBT. This aligns with work by Keith Laws, who regularly reports on CBT trials failing left and right and being shown to be no better than, well, nothing. There is growing evidence that ALL the evidence for the efficacy and safety of CBT is...
