Following another busy and productive year, #MEAction Scotland is publishing our 2024 Impact Statement today, which covers the 2024 calendar year. It reports on our work to campaign for effective support, create stronger advocates and raise awareness.
The statement brings together some key successes over the year. Some highlights include:
- £4.5m was included in the 2025/26 Scottish Budget to deliver services for people with ME, Long Covid, and other similar conditions – the first time ME has been included in the budget.
- We engaged with 63 MSPs across all parties at our information stall in the Scottish Parliament.
- We spoke as part of the Royal College of Physicians Edinburgh’s webinar on ME and Long Covid, which was inspired by our action in 2023. Almost 350 clinicians have accessed it so far and it’s still available for members to catch up on.
- NHS Education for Scotland published a Practice Based Small Group Learning module on ME, which we have campaigned for and been in discussions about for many years.
So far, 83 groups of GPs, General Practice Nurses and Pharmacists/Technicians have studied it.
The work continues towards a Scotland that treats people with ME with respect and offers the care and support we deserve.
