ELAROS Hosts Webinar on Digitally Supporting ME/CFS and Long COVID Services

On Wednesday, 5th February, ELAROS hosted a webinar on Digitally Supporting ME/CFS and Long COVID Services, bringing together key experts at a crucial time for the ME/CFS and Long COVID communities.

The event featured a presentation from Sarah Tyson (University of Manchester/ME Association) and Russell Fleming (ME Association), who provided an update on the development of a new clinical assessment toolkit for ME/CFS, created in collaboration with people with ME/CFS and clinicians working in NHS ME/CFS specialist services.

Román Rocha Lawrence from ELAROS led the session, presenting our proposal to support NHS ME/CFS services in partnership with The ME Association. This collaboration aims to offer early exclusive access to The MEA’s clinical toolkit through ELAROS’ digital platform, which has already supported tens of thousands of patients across 65 health organisations worldwide, as well as national research studies and service evaluations for NHS England and NHS Scotland.

We were also joined by Anna Gregorowski, Chair of BACME (British Association of Clinicians in ME/CFS), a multidisciplinary organisation dedicated to advancing ME/CFS clinical care in the UK. ELAROS is working closely with BACME to signpost its resources, ensuring they are more widely accessible to clinicians and patients through our digital channels.

This webinar followed our highly successful Building a Long COVID Service Legacy series, which has helped clinical practitioners and commissioners explore innovative case studies and digital tools to enhance condition-specific and integrated long-term condition (LTC) services.

The session was particularly valuable for clinicians, researchers, and commissioners working in ME/CFS services, as well as those in Long COVID care looking to expand their service offering to include ME/CFS support.

We look forward to continuing these important conversations and driving innovation in digital health solutions for ME/CFS and Long COVID services.
