Why should you do OUR e-training?
Our Founder and Managing Director Sally has M.E./C.F.S herself. In fact, she has had the condition twice. Both in her childhood and for the past 12 years. She has also been a global M.E./C.F.S. campaigner with her fun advocacy brand (turned not-for-profit) ME Foggy Dog. She has personally experienced discrimination, lack of understanding and disbelief from education, healthcare, and business professionals who had a duty of care over her. Her experiences are common and similar accounts can be told by virtually every M.E./C.F.S. patient worldwide.
Through her ME Foggy Dog platform, Sally has spoken with thousands of M.E./C.F.S. patients around the world since 2014, has working relationships with various M.E./C.F.S. charities worldwide, and has an in-depth knowledge of the condition itself and the wider economic, political and social issues that impact the M.E./C.F.S. community.
Yesterday, a meeting that had been initiated by Sally (with her ME Foggy Dog advocacy hat on ) took place between Stephen Morgan MP and Portsmouth South M.E./C.F.S. patients (Foggy Followers). The meeting had been organised to highlight local M.E./C.F.S. provision issues. The meeting was highly productive and actions plans have been recommended.
One thing all agreed on was that the lack of education in key areas was hampering progress and harming patients. This is something Sally identified a couple of years ago and why Stripy Lightbulb CIC was created last year.
The M.E./C.F.S. community cannot progress without the education of others.
