Learn about ME
This series of podcast episodes complement the CPD accredited module on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), originally developed by Dr Nina Muirhead with the UK ME Research Collaborative. The module was updated in January 2023 in partnership with Doctors with ME and drawing on international expertise. The podcasts and the CPD module are relevant to GPs and other health and social care professionals treating not just M.E. but Long COVID too. The CPD module is free, available anytime online and offers 1 CPD point. It normally takes less than an hour to complete and is based on case studies and the latest biomedical evidence. Each question offers further reading to develop and increase knowledge. You can access this free module here: https://www.studyprn.com/p/chronic-fatigue-syndrome
