Congratulations to @ThereForME_UK today - an incredible year of advocacy. Thank you to the team for bringing communities together. #ThereForME #LCandME
Today we’re celebrating a year to the day since @KarenLHargrave & @GoreLloyd launched #ThereForME! We had a busy day yesterday responding to the Delivery Plan release. It’s clear how much more our campaign has left to do - but today we’re reflecting on what we’ve done so far.
"The whole system comes at you with such speed and velocity..." It sure does. When you ask (education, healthcare, social care) for help but instead they close ranks, do a 180, and point the finger of blame directly at you. It's intimidating and terrifying. #longcovidkids
Really grateful to @GMB for bringing this issue to the fore. I hope @RCPCHtweets will now discuss with Professor Andy Bilson, Professor Luke Clements, Dr Fiona Gullon-Scott, Cathie Long and @emilydugan amongst many others. Time for change 🙏💜

"we did see some reduction in illness absence in the schools that had the air cleaners in there" Fascinating five minutes from Professor Cath Noakes @eurovent youtu.be/e7jOIFUNL5k?si…
We believe clean air should be accessible to all & we’re so excited to support Air Library Scotland’s initiative to rent out air purifiers for free across Edinburgh. If you’re in Edinburgh, you can try one out for yourself. Request form: bit.ly/4nvFTsk

We know that explaining the impact of Long Covid can be exhausting. Please share with anyone who may need more info. Help us raise awareness that COVID infections can lead to complex health challenges. 🌟Avoiding infection is the best way to avoid risk. youtu.be/e0U7K54RiSg
My son Soren is going thru this today. I don't think anyone outside the victims and 24/7 care-givers can truly understand how painful and isolating this condition is. I can't tell you the number of times someone who visits us for multiple days comes away saying "they had no idea"
Our petition closes on 30th July! We are asking the Government to fund training for all healthcare providers on spotting & dealing with #PoTS and to facilitate the correct form of healthcare! Please sign today and SHARE FAR AND WIDE: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/7068… #MECFS #LongCovid
Huge congratulations to @sunsopeningband - our brilliant Chair at Long COVID Physio. His calm & kind manner allows all voices to be heard- especially the very unwell who too often are not given a voice. He is an inspiration to so many & we are so lucky to have him as Chair.
Grateful to be named one of the 317 Catherine Worthingham Fellows of the American Physical Therapy Association. Patients, participants, colleagues, friends, collaborators, and people with whom I disagree have pushed me for years to best help others in need. I owe this to them.
