M.E. Webinar Series CEC (2021-24)

M.E. Webinar Series for Healthcare Professionals
Hope 4 ME & Fibro Northern Ireland organised a five-part webinar series on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), recorded and produced in partnership with the HSC Clinical Education Centre.
The series was created for nurses, midwives, and Allied Health Professionals — but it remains invaluable for anyone with an interest in M.E./CFS or post-viral illness.
Exploring Change and Understanding
These webinars take you through the radical changes introduced in the new NICE Guideline for ME/CFS (NG206) and the lessons emerging from the Long Covid crisis.
Experts from medicine, academia, and lived experience share their insights on best practice, patient care, and the evolving science around these complex conditions.
The series provides a unique opportunity to hear directly from international experts and patient advocates who are shaping the understanding of M.E. and post-viral illness.
Background
While the NICE Guideline NG206 was first published in October 2021, it was not formally endorsed for Northern Ireland by the Department of Health (NI) until January 2022.
The information shared in these sessions remains as relevant today as when first released — providing essential learning for clinical professionals across all disciplines.
