We Respond to NICE ‘Suspected Neurological Disorders’ Quality Standard | 25 October 2019

Ewan Dale, Trustee, ME Association.

Introduction

In 2017 NICE (National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) decided to launch a new guideline on suspected neurological disorders and sent stakeholders a draft for comment.

There were key aspects that affected people with ME & CFS and Fibromyalgia relating mainly to the use of the term “functional” and the dismissive way in which access to neurology was to be denied for those with “medically unexplained” symptoms.

Forward ME made a response, the ME Association also launched a petition. The new guideline was published earlier this year with some amendments and NICE are now looking to produce a Quality Standard to support it.

The ME Association has now responded to this latest call on stakeholders (see below) as we continue to be alarmed by the way in which neurology has increasingly become a very difficult to access but much needed specialism and one that still fails to recognise ME & CFS.

Background

In May, NICE published the ‘Suspected Neurological Conditions: Recognition and Referral’ clinical guideline (NG127). It is the same guideline we had petitioned against back in September 2017 when you responded with 13,593 signatures.

The 2017 petition attracted 13,593 signatures.

The scope of this guideline is much wider than ME & CFS concerns but perpetuates issues by lumping ME & CFS, and Fibromyalgia in with “functional neurological disorders”. It also ignores incidence of orthostatic intolerance.

Forward ME had registered as stakeholders for the development of the guideline, but the main thrust of that submission appears to have been ignored. Although it must be said that the original references to ME & CFS as being specific examples of functional disorders are not now made but they are definitely inferred.

Indeed, ME & CFS are only now referred to in the section on concentration difficulties (1.8.3): “Do not routinely refer adults for neurological assessment if they have concentration difficulties associated with myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia.”

The rationale for this decision (page 48): “The committee pointed out that difficulties with memory and concentration are common in myalgic encephalomyelitis (or encephalopathy)/chronic fatigue syndrome or fibromyalgia, and that these symptoms can be managed as part of the management of those conditions.”

Concentration difficulties associated with ME/CFS.

The guideline defines a functional neurological disorder as: “A condition in which people experience neurological symptoms in the absence of any identifiable causative physical or structural abnormality.”

Much if not all of the advice relating to symptoms perceived as being functional in origin – many of which might apply to the onset of ME & CFS symptomology – is that no referral to neurology is necessary and that management should occur in primary care as per the guideline on ME/CFS.

Indeed, we argued originally that this new guideline seemed more about preventing referrals (irrespective of any diagnosis) to neurology than it did about improving patient care. And we were especially concerned because the high rate of missed or misdiagnosis in ME & CFS warranted specialist intervention at an early stage at least to ensure a correct diagnosis was made.

The NICE Guideline in full: Suspected Neurological Conditions: Recognition and Referral (NG127). View on the NICE Website.
Read what we felt was wrong with the initial draft along with the submission from Forward ME and compare with the final, published guideline.

NICE Quality Standard

In support of the guideline, NICE has started the process of developing a Quality Standard (QS10082): “A concise set of prioritised statements designed to drive measurable quality improvements within a particular area of health or care.”

The ME Association registered as stakeholders and were asked to submit 5 statements of “key areas for quality improvement” last week.

Given how widespread the promotion of euphemisms for psychosomatic are across NHS-related policy, we don’t hold out much hope for NICE to start taking a constructive view of medically uncertainty, but we felt it was important to register our concerns.

The background issues to medical uncertainty and terminology are summarised in Charlotte Stephens’ recent commentary on the new Bransfield and Friedman study.

These are the statements and comments we have submitted to NICE. As the scope of the Quality Standard is all “suspected neurological conditions”, our comments are mainly aimed at issues common across many conditions as well as ME & CFS.

ME Association Submission

Key area for quality improvement 1

Correcting misuse of terminology: “functional” and “medically unexplained”

Why is this important?

The current, selective usage is reductive and a basis of inadequate and inappropriate clinical practice.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

If neurology is to play a constructive part in delivering effective integrated medical practice within a constricted NHS budget, it needs to jettison false dichotomies based on abuse of terminology and assumed, generalised diagnoses and treatments based on false syllogisms.

Supporting information

Standard English usage.
“Medical” means all of medicine and cannot be used to refer to any false divisions between partly substantiated and ill-substantiated diagnoses, and between physical, psychiatric, psychological or sociological characterisation.
“Medically unexplained” cannot be partially applied in any medical specialism with the meaning that absence of evidence for any substantiable diagnosis for that speciality can then be assumed to indicate substantiability of another type of diagnosis. While there may be probable indication for other diagnoses in many cases, these remain within the normal range of medical practice for safe clinical and diagnostic assessment.
“Functional” refers to all functions as affected by and affecting any and all aspects of medicine. Partial interpretations of medical terminology, whether aimed at redressing residual bias against recognition of the range of mental health and social issues integral across illness presentations or aimed at limiting informed consideration of possible illness functions without the formally established evidence base, simply cause confusion and promote poor, bad or malpractice.

Key area for quality improvement 2

Integrate neurology with other medical specialisms. Actively develop practice improvement through workshopping, and using existing sociological resources to support, monitor and disseminate specifics and common practice standards.

Why is this important?

Neurology practice continues to exhibit poor coordination of case assessments with other specialist consultations, and poor, partial reporting of assessment to general practice.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

Many cases amongst the larger neurological patient bodies can receive more effective support from other specialities but require monitoring in neurology. It would normally be of benefit to patients, practitioners and the NHS budget for consultants to recognise the interaction of their inputs, the lead role in coordinating each patient’s care, and the need to properly inform general practice, allowing them to target the delivery of ongoing treatment.

Supporting information

Patients who experience ineffective treatment and access to their notes, continue to regularly report the limited and uncoordinated nature of consultants’ reports.

Key area for quality improvement 3

Recognise the lack of service provision for some of the most severely ill patients, and develop practice to overcome this shortcoming

Why is this important?

Patients with the most need for effective treatment can be receiving the least service.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

Severely ill patients who are unable to easily access outpatient services, or even manage to sustain engagement with telehealth home consultations, and who are unlikely to benefit from or justify in-patient care, can be regularly isolated from any effective treatment or monitoring.
Although the socio-economic benefit of treatment may be unclear, the quality of life outcomes are normally clear, and the potential for future improvement or recovery is increased. Again, workshopping, development and dissemination of practice improvement should be pursued.

Supporting information

Severely ill patients who have been required to access outpatient services for an adequate level of assessment and treatment can suffer a relapse or worsening of symptoms as a result of the burden of travel involved, and are subsequently likely to be distanced from any further consideration of treatment adjustment or change which is deemed to require consultant input.
With NHS resources effectively precluding allowance for patient recovery from the trauma of transporting, or allowance for required sensory isolation, remote and home delivery of effective practice can be both effective and efficient.

Key area for quality improvement 4

Recognise the current limits on paediatric services, their scope and efficacy, plus the continuing poor standard of transference to adult services.

Why is this important?

Paediatric cases of enduring illness are currently ill-served in many areas, particularly if they have unusual presentations. Transfer to adult services for young adult patients can exacerbate problems with effectiveness of care.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

Children and young people with enduring illness can have a better prognosis for recovery and improvement than adults, and better paediatric practice offers benefits for patients and society.
Current limitations on knowledge for paediatric compared to adult services limits potential outcomes, so potentially loading costs of chronic illness. The understanding of life-long health awareness emphasises the need for best practice in the youngest patients. Adjustment to adult status can generate a number of issues for young patients, and poor transference to adult services can seriously exacerbate problems.

Supporting information

Parents and older children continue to report lack of effective practice across diagnosis and treatment for unclear presentations of illness. This is compounded by a resulting lack of recognition of need for support in education and social participation, which can aggravate illness and chronicity.

Key area for quality improvement 5

Recognition of ME and CFS and the key symptom of post-exertional malaise.

Why is this important?

This is a sizable patient group presenting with symptoms which are recognisably neurological in nature, but multi-system in effect. They have been ill-served by poorly argued assumptions of causality, limiting or distorting diagnosis and treatment, so greatly increasing the burden and duration of illness and consequent costs.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

The degrees of illness presented place a continuing demand on service provision, so improvement in quality and effectiveness of initial service provision in particular are bound to have long-term benefits for patients and society.
In addition to patient numbers, the undue levels of missed and misdiagnosis are unsupportably high. Patients presenting with symptoms of or similar to ME & CFS include significant numbers of patients presenting with forms of (usually early onset) multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and epilepsy, as well as other types of chronic illness which present with symptoms considered to be neurological.
Time taken to arrive at consideration of this diagnosis and then progress to confirmation and treatment is unduly prolonged. Some patients could have been effectively treated in the time taken for many diagnoses. Currently available standards of diagnosis and treatment are relatively limited and demand unusual levels of evaluation by practitioners, but the potential benefits from practicing to this available standard clearly outweigh any issues over demand on services.

Supporting information

Current NICE, and subsequent international guidance recognises the established nature of myalgic encephalomyelitis and chronic fatigue syndrome, and particularly the major signature symptom of post exertional malaise.
The ongoing revision process of NICE guideline CG53 includes a wealth of evidence supporting the basis for improving current practice to meet the 2007 standard and imminent updates.

Additional developmental areas of emergent practice

Key area for quality improvement

Develop better protocols for introduction of new treatment options into the NHS

Why is this important?

With increasing demand on medical research competing with limited resources, there is a need for more effective dissemination of research implementation into stages of practice development.
With recent development of protocols for evidence-based medicine, the potential gulf between established practice and practice improvement from research outcomes has increased, and could become a negative influence on practice quality, also the effectiveness of service provision.

Why is this a key area for quality improvement?

To make more effective use of limited resources, it is necessary to ensure that while testing of applicability of proposed new treatments remains at least as robust as current standards, methodology for recognising potential new treatments has to be more efficient.

Supporting information

We’re at the Royal College of GPs conference in Liverpool! | 24 October 2019

Russell Fleming, Content Manager, ME Association.

Dr Shepherd from the MEA with Sam Bromley from AfME.

This is a very well attended event with GPs from across the country travelling to Liverpool for the three-day conference (24-26 October).

Dr Charles Shepherd and Ewan Dale, Trustees of the ME Association, will be attending with other members from Forward ME helping to raise awareness of the issues faced by people in this community.

Last year, Dr Shepherd and other M.E. experts gave a lecture to a packed audience of GPs and we had a stall. This year we couldn’t get the lecture, but the stall is doing excellent ‘trade’ and attracting a lot of interest.

One of the first GPs to visit said, “A patient rang up my receptionist and the first thing she asked was “Does the new doctor believe in M.E.?”, I didn’t realise how little understanding there is of the condition.”

Copies of the ME Association Clinical and Research Guide are being distributed, along with the Forward ME Briefing (download opposite).

We are also conducting a case study quiz which is based around diagnosis with a prize being offered for the most correct answers.

And our thanks and congratulations go to medical student, Emilia Allwright, who is supervised by Dr Nina Muirhead, and produced a poster presentation of her research (see below).

Emilia and Nina created the initial ME Association website survey that gathered over 600 responses back in January and followed-up your valuable feedback with interviews.

We’ll keep you informed of any further developments from the conference as we hear them via our social media platforms or with updates to this blog.

“Understanding the role of the general practitioner in caring for patients with ME/CFS in the community.”

By Emilia Allwright and Dr Nina Muirhead.

Objectives

Establish a general understanding of the current awareness and knowledge of ME/CFS based on recent scientific research and publications

Recognise the importance of the patient voice in ME/CFS management via qualitative and quantitative information gathered from patient volunteers in the community including information obtained by telephone interviews and an online questionnaire.

Identify factors that patients view as important to their management in primary care.

Results

Both the online question and free text feedback emphasised that patients prioritised an understanding of the symptoms of ME/CFS in order to make a diagnosis and to appreciate the impact of the condition on patients.

The interviews discussed wider aspects of the relationship between GPs and patient with ME/CFS. Participants suggested having a single healthcare practitioner to offer consistent care and develop an understanding of the patient and their history.

GPs who were willing to learn more about ME/CFS and engage with the patient to better their own understanding of ME/CFS were held in high regard by participants. All but one participant had experience feeling dismissed by a GP and some participants, who had not developed positive relationships with GP, questioned the level of respect demonstrated by a GP.

	Patient Feedback “They just need to be honest and kind and respectful and together we’ll figure out what the best way forward is.”
	“He’s just been sympathetic to what I’m going through which is a big thing.”
	“And I just found it too upsetting to keep going because nothing was happening.”

Conclusion

Participants described mutually beneficial relationships with GPs through working together but also instances where relationships had been less constructive or had broken down.

Overall, online feedback and semi-structures interviews emphasised the perception that a supportive GP who is honest and open with patients can make a significant impact, regardless of their ability to cure the patient.

In a future study, the patient perspective could be supported with parallel information gathering from GPs on their experiences to create a more thorough analysis of ME/CFS care in the community from a dual perspective.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Dr Liz Forty and all the patients who took their valuable time and energy to respond to the questionnaire or be involved with the interviews. Thank you to Jan Russell and WAMES and the ME Association for their help publicising this study.

Remembering Pat Carrington

I’m feeling sadness and joy in my heart as I share with you the passing of our friend and mentor, Dr. Patricia Carrington.

The sadness is obvious when we lose someone we love. The joy is often harder to find, but I think in Pat’s case, at the wonderful age of 95 with decades of incredible contributions to the world and our field, we can together celebrate her life.

If you’re not familiar with Dr. Carrington, she was one of the original true thought leaders in the field of energy medicine, actually using Tapping in the ’80s and leading its spread!

She’s the originator of the “Choices Method”, which I still use daily and in the meditations we release. When I first met her in 2007 while filming The Tapping Solution documentary, she was 83 years old and sharp as can be! A true testament to this work.

I thought this morning of how we could best honor Pat, and I think she would like nothing more than for her work and message to continue to spread and be seen by others. So I’m sharing that original video interview from 2007.

You’ll find it chock full of wisdom and insights that you can apply to your life today.

Also, Pat had struggled financially the past couple of years, after being defrauded by her assistant and it was THIS community that raised over $50,000 to support her.

I can tell you definitively that that money made her last year very different than it might have been otherwise – so THANK YOU!!

Until next time…

Keep Tapping!

Nick Ortner

MEA Press Release: Vital new research could lay bare the cause of one of world’s cruellest illnesses | 23 October 2019

For immediate release: By John Siddle, PR Manager, ME Association.

The ME Association announces three new research grants into an incurable disease that affects 250,000 Brits

Vital research funding that could lay bare the cause of one of the world’s cruellest illnesses can today be announced by the ME Association.

The UK charity is proud to reveal it is funding three new projects to help solve the mysteries of myalgic encephalomyelitis – also known as chronic fatigue syndrome – and how it is treated.

Manifesting as unrelenting exhaustion, profound pain, memory difficulties and worsened mobility, ME is destroying the lives of 250,000 people in the UK, including children and teenagers.

One in four are so severely affected that they are rendered housebound or bedbound – with some even reliant on tube feeding. Sufferers are often confined to their beds, unable to walk, and need help even to shower – an action that could then lay them low for hours, or even days.

There is no known cure – and worse still, there remain vast misconceptions and ignorance surrounding the illness – even in medical circles.

Today, campaigning charity The ME Association can announce a new tranche of funding totalling almost £200,000 through its Ramsay Research Fund.

The charity – which relies solely on donations and membership fees – has already invested more than a million pounds in biomedical research.

It considers quality research to be a key priority as it offers the best hope for better understanding, improved diagnosis and treatment.

ME Association Medical adviser, Dr Charles Shepherd, said:

“The ME Association is delighted to announce that our Ramsay Research Fund has been able to make three major research grants totalling nearly £200,000.

“All three projects constitute major steps forward in helping to understand the underlying cause of ME, the search for a diagnostic biomarker, and the provision of more effective management – especially during the crucial early stages of this illness.

“Thanks must go to our many loyal supporters and fundraisers who have been raising money for medical research into the cause and treatment of ME.”

Grant One: The UK ME/CFS Biobank (£99,766)

The world-leading ME/CFS Biobank (UKMEB) is the only one of its kind in the UK. Here, the analysis of blood samples could reveal crucial biomarkers to provide a deeper understanding of what causes ME, and how it could be accurately diagnosed and treated.

The project, led and managed by the Biobank team at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, is funded through the ME Association’s Ramsay Research Fund.

This new ME Association funding will sustain and allow the Biobank to expand over the next two years and ensure a steady supply of blood samples to ME researchers around the world.

Jack Butterworth, a Project Manager at the Biobank, said:

“Over the past two years we have released samples to six research institutions in the UK alone, and many more in Europe, South America, Asia and the USA.

“The new, two-year award will build on that success, enabling further releases and the replenishment of depleted samples.

“The award will also enable further communications and fundraising projects, raising the Biobank’s income and reducing its reliance on grant funding.

“The funding will also allow the team to continue to work to develop biobanks elsewhere in the world, using protocols that are harmonised with the UKMEB’s. Exciting work is already underway in the USA, Canada and Australia.

“The UKMEB continues to be an example to biobanks in ME/CFS and in other fields and has published its work in peer-reviewed journals and presented at major conferences.”

Grant Two: Dr Karl Morten and the University of Oxford (£69,150)

The ME Association is delighted to announce it has granted vital funding to Dr Karl Morten and colleagues at the University of Oxford, who are investigating blood abnormalities in ME patients.

The funding will enable scientists to continue examining a link between blood plasma abnormalities and dysfunctional mitochondrial energy production in ME patients.

This grant will also help to bring in more Oxford researchers from various disciplines and create a Centre of Excellence for ME Research in Oxford.

Dr Karl Morten said:

“We are extremely grateful to the ME Association for providing funding for our new 12-month project exploring the plasma factors in ME/CFS and their impact on mitochondrial function.

“This study will compare ME/CFS patients with patients diagnosed with other fatigue-inducing conditions to look at changes in mitochondrial dynamics.”

Grant three: Dr Keith Geraghty and the University of Manchester (£25,000)

The third grant goes to Dr Keith Geraghty and colleagues at the University of Manchester, where it will be used to analyse what happens to ME patients in the crucial time between the onset of their symptoms and a diagnosis being made. It is the first-time research in this area has been commissioned on such a level.

Dr Shepherd said:

“This is a key part of the patient journey where we know that there are serious problems in both obtaining an early and accurate diagnosis, and then being given appropriate advice on management.”

The results will also be fed into the development of the new NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) clinical guideline on the diagnosis and management of ME/CFS.

Dr Geraghty said:

“ME is a disabling condition that greatly impacts the lives of sufferers. Many report problems getting an early diagnosis and appropriate medical care.

“We found almost no research on the ‘diagnosis of ME/CFS’, specifically how long it takes patients to get a diagnosis in the UK and the process patients go through to get a diagnosis.

“We want to explore this topic to better inform clinical practice and guidelines for treatment.”

Why funding The ME Association is vital and how you can help

Less than £1 is spent each year per person suffering from ME by the Government and there is a chronic lack of funding for medical research. Many doctors still don’t know how to diagnose or manage the condition.

A parliamentary debate last year was told how people with ME are six times more likely to commit suicide. We desperately need to learn more about the disease to improve diagnosis and develop effective treatments.

Research grants are made by the ME Association from funds generated by donations and fundraising drives.
