#ThereForME campaign

23 July 2024

#ThereForME is a new campaign led by patients and carers calling for an NHS that’s there for people with ME and Long Covid. The new Labour Government has come into office with a powerful promise: to transform a broken healthcare system, building an NHS that is fit for the future.

To achieve this, the NHS must deliver for people with Long Covid and ME.

#ThereForME have published a new report, drawing on data from over 300 people with Long Covid/ME (+ their carers) and endorsed by 15 organisations, including Action for M.E.

This campaign asks the government to:

  • Commit to an NHS that is there for people with ME and Long Covid.
  • Utilise the UK’s science and technology expertise to advance treatments for Long Covid and ME & commit to at least £100m annual funding for research.
  • Do more with the tools we already have e.g. implementing the 2021 NICE Guidelines for ME/CFS.
