It will be a health television series for BBC1 that will follow a GP, as he immerses himself in the lives of British families. The families they are looking for need one or more members to be suffering with a long term health issue, and chronic pain is one of many complex long term conditions they are interested in.
The average GP appointment in the UK is only 8-10 minutes, so the aim is to see what affect our doctor can have on the health of a family with a more personal, tailored and one on one approach during a series of health visits done in the comfort of their very own home.
If you are or anyone you know is interested please contact the studio on 0203 040 6903 (standard charges apply and they can call you/them straight back to save your phone bills) or alternatively email them at This email address is being protected from spambots.

If you do become involved please let us know on (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.), it’s great to see our supporters raising awareness about fibromyalgia.

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.
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.
