Myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) elearning

banner image

It is estimated that over 250,000 people in the UK are living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). Despite these figures, there are still many misconceptions around ME/CFS, and the patients suffer from prolonged diagnosis and stigma.

This elearning programme has been developed in collaboration with patient groups and the Department of Health and Social Care as a resource for all healthcare practitioners looking to enhance their knowledge and support for individuals living with ME/CFS.

It aims to:

  • highlight the variability in patient experiences and the impact on individuals and their families
  • encourage the adoption of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care
  • highlight the importance of pacing, symptom management, and supportive networks                                                     

Introduction to ME/CFS: this session is accessible to all and aims to provide an introduction to the complex nature of ME/CFS. The session explains what ME/CFS is, discusses the potential causes and diagnostic challenges and provides an overview of possible management strategies.
