The podcast series of 13 episodes, each featuring a voice of lived experience, was produced to complement Dr Nina Muirhead’s highly-rated CPD-accredited module. It offers the chance to learn more about key symptoms and support, with practical guidance and signposting.

There has been a lot of positive feedback about the podcast series and the module, including:

• “Your podcasts are excellent - really appreciate this work.”
• "I'm going through this with a view to recommending to GPs/other HCPs, as Chair of the local ME group. Excellent so far!"
• "Very pleased to see young people covered by this module."

The podcast series forms part of the wider Learn about ME project, funded by the Scottish Government, and delivered by Action for ME in partnership with Dr Nina Muirhead, #MEAction Scotland, Long Covid Scotland and the ME Association.

The project aims to inform GPs and other healthcare professionals about ME and long Covid so that they can successfully and effectively support patients of all ages with ME. The Scottish Government adopted the 2021 NICE Guideline on ME and they want to ensure that GPS and other healthcare professionals have accessing to training and resources to allow them to work to the guideline.
