GENERAL New support for professionals on managing ME-CFS and Long Covid
GPs, medical students and allied health professionals in the UK can now access free
online training on the diagnosis and management of ME-CFS.

disjointed and ineffectual. Online professional education can make a big difference in effective practice and so ease the burden of illness.
This news item highlights funding to support dissemination of the module in the UK. However the module can be undertaken by doctors anywhere in the UK, indeed anywhere in the world
