The webinars explored the radical changes taking place within the then, newly proposed NICE Guideline for ME/CFS, and the important implications arising from the Long Covid crises. The webinar brought together medical and other experts in the field of ME/CFS, to share their knowledge and experience.

Whilst the new NICE Guideline on ME/CFS NG206 has now been in existence since October 2021, it was not formally endorsed as applicable to Northern Ireland, by the Department of Health NI, until January 2022.

All 5 webinars are as applicable today, as they were when first produced in 2021. They are also appropriate for ALL healthcare professionals, and others with an interest, to watch and learn from.
