Trustee meetings are held monthly via Skype and last about 2 hours. There is an annual meeting that coincides with our group leaders’ meeting over a weekend.
If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
We are delighted to announce that our recent assessment for The Information Standard has been successful and we continue to fulfil the criteria for using the TIS logo on our publications.
The rigorous process that has to be in place ensures that up to date evidence is used and presented to people in an appropriate way. The process is ongoing and requires much diligence by everyone involved.
We would like to thank everyone who has worked on our publications or sent in their comments and suggestions for improvement
Important Notice‼️ | At the end of March, our JustGiving Text service which allows you to donate using your phone will be ending. Instead, you can now take advantage of our new Text service with Donr. To make a donation, text 'FIBRO' to 70085 to donate a default £10. This costs £10 plus a std rate msg.
Alternatively, you can opt to give any whole amount up to £20, by texting Fibro + the amount you wish to donate, e.g. FIBRO 5 to donate £5.
Please share to make our followers aware of our new text donation arrangement.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
