This episode as it’s about exploring the understanding and adjustments needed in Social Care and Social Work service to enable people with M.E. to access and benefit from services. I had the pleasure of joining Clare Ogden, Services Manager at Action for M.E. and Zoe McIntyre, a professional in social care who also has Fibromyalgia, on this episode.

The podcast illustrates some of the barriers and challenges that are useful to keep in mind while working to support someone with M.E. This episode highlights the adjustments that are useful to enable someone with M.E. to engage with services and create appropriate care plans. Zoe also raises important considerations around safety and how the unique nature of M.E. requires a different, more flexible approach to avoid harm.
