“Streeting’s view that the Sullivan Review ‘will lead to better, more inclusive and fairer outcomes for everyone', is wrong,” @jaytoddgla.bsky.social

Evidently travel data doesn’t travel as well as is assumed.

Surrey long Covid patients gaslit by medical professionals, study finds The University of Surrey study says patients faced "gatekeeping" of treatment from medical professionals.

These findings align with my experiences. I am not holding my breath (no pun) for any shift. #LongCOVID is being erased defunded and de problematisation. My clinic closed along with a couple of hundred others. I look forward to feeling better once my LTC no longer exists www.bbc.com/news/article...

Probably too short notice now but I have asked my funder if I can move some of my budget about. Fingers crossed.

That’s great news. I am looking into funding and hope to apply in that case. I attended some hybrid courses last year and they were fine. As someone with a non-visible, energy limiting disability this option will help with my pacing practice.

Looking forward sharing and learning and seeing the sea

Glad that the proposed amendment came to nothing as predicted but still consider it important to challenge these attempts.
