Former Nurse Rebecca Logan - Educating Future Nurses on Covid-induced M.E.

A huge thank you to our Long Covid representative Rebecca Logan for her powerful presentation to over 70, 2-year nursing students at Queen's University Belfast.

Rebecca (former nurse and keep-fit instructor, pre-Covid infection, now medically retired) shared her lived experience of post-Covid M.E. and highlighted the vital role nurses play in recognising and supporting patients—especially through understanding Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM).

This second event was again organised by QUB following a meeting with Hope 4 ME & Fibro NI trustees earlier this year.

The first session was attended by 200 nursing students.

Our short film ‘Discover M.E.’ was also screened during the education session and further research being undertaken by QUB PhD student Tara Anderson.

This marks another significant breakthrough in M.E. education in Northern Ireland, helping even more future healthcare professionals better understand and support those living with this often-misunderstood and neglected disease.
