The Put Patients First Campaign is asking for our help to reach their goal of 1 million signatures by 15th August.
Put patients first: Back general practice petition!
The petition, which has been sent to every practice in the UK and can also be signed online, is generating great support for the campaign by giving patients and GPs the opportunity to stand together to fight for general practice.
We still, however, have a long way to go before we reach one million signatures by 15 August. Please click on this link to see more about the campaign and sign the petition.

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.
