WAMES’ campaigns

2011

ME & CFS information for all

10 years of campaigning for better services and talking to people with ME, carers and professionals has shown us that accurate information about ME is not reaching those who need it.  During ME Awareness week WAMES launched a campaign to provide better information in Welsh and English for all who need it, beginning with our new website.  We are using research results, clinicians’ experience and patient and carer stories to produce information sheets on a wide range of topics. These will become available on the website throughout the year, funded by the Big Lottery Fund. We invite people to contact us to let us know how we can meet your information needs.

Wear blue for ME

WAMES invites people with ME, their friends and family to raise awareness of ME by wearing blue ribbons or items of blue clothing during ME Awareness week.

2007- 2008

Don’t forget ME!

Following the WAMES’ Survey of Local Health Boards we challenged LHBs to provide appropriate services in line with the WAG’s Chronic Conditions Management Framework.
