Require mandatory NHS training on ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and related conditions

Require mandatory NHS training on ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia and related conditions — 9 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Require mandatory NHS training for GPs and relevant healthcare professionals on ME/CFS and related conditions, including Fibromyalgia, Long COVID, POTS and hEDS, to improve diagnosis, patient safety, evidence-based care and consistent treatment across the NHS.

Additional details

Many people with ME/CFS and related conditions experience delayed diagnosis, dismissal, misdiagnosis and avoidable harm because many healthcare professionals receive little or no formal training. Mandatory, evidence based education would improve awareness, support earlier diagnosis, reduce unsafe or inappropriate care, promote compassionate treatment, and better protect patients while ensuring more consistent, informed care across the NHS.
