What's going on in Bristol(?)

Bristol Cable article from July 2017 still accepting comments
An excellent article from last year:
"
Trials on certain treatments of chronic fatigue syndrome, or ME, have pitted patients against researchers, and scientists against scientists – amid furious clashes on the validity of landmark studies into the condition.
Words: Lorna Stephenson"

People are still able to comment.

Maybe someone could add a plug for S4ME, update of what has happened since?

 

Just been having a look to see what other local papers there are in Bristol and was a bit taken aback to find on the Bath Chronicle website , (in addition to the usual, Jobs, Book an Ad, Crossword etc) a tab 'Psychotherapy'.
http://www.bathchronicle.co.uk/

This takes you to a website 'TimeWith' where you answer a few questions and give them your email address and they send you contact details of relevant therapists. (This company is based in London and cover the whole of the UK.)

But does anyone else find this odd?

eta: found the same thing on Bristol Post website, and the Clevedon Mercury(Somerset Live)

 

From Linkedin information, it looks like some tech/media savvy guys had a bright idea to make it easier to connect with a therapist to suit your needs in your local area, and formed the company last year. They are advertising nationwide and don't appear to have any specific connections to Bristol/Bath.

It reminds me of one of those tradesman's websites where you type in your requirements and a local plumber/carpenter gets in touch with some extortionate quote.

 

all perfectly normal then Bit like checkatrade.......... find an electrician and while your at it find your local LP practitioner.

 

Looking at the OHC;
