Following the very exciting initial findings from the Decode ME study, which found that people with a Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general population, we were delighted to hear BBC Radio Wales cover the study – and people’s lived experiences – in detail during an episode of The Phone in with Oliver Hides.
We’ve had a great month of attending a wide range of events including Cardiff and Vale University Health Board’s Sexual and Reproductive Health and Community event, the Senedd Cross-Party Group on Women’s Health, Betsi Cadwaladr’s Women’s Health Stakeholder Event for health board staff, and The WOMB Summer Festival in Cardiff.
We were thrilled to be invited to take to the main stage at this year’s Everywoman Festival, with Engagement Officer, Dee, a panellist alongside NHS Wales Women’s Health Clinical Lead, Dr Helen Munro, and Director of the new Wales Women’s Health Research Centre, Professor Jacky Boivin, and Chaired by the Chief Nursing Officer, Sue Tranka.
We couldn’t have the reach or impact we do without our amazing volunteers throughout Wales.
Here are just some of the activities our volunteers have participated in this month:
