SUMMARY:Marie Curie & CHAS Joint Breakfast Hustings
DESCRIPTION:Ahead of the Scottish Parliament elections in May\, Marie Curie and Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS) are jointly holding a breakfast hustings on 23 March 2016\, 8-10am at the MacDonald Holyrood Hotel. \nPolling shows that health is often the most important issue for voters. In this vital year of health and social care integration\, we want to make sure that everyone gets the care and support they need when they need it. Integration provides an opportunity to produce better person-centred care and improve outcomes for patients\, families and carers across Scotland. \nTo achieve this\, we need the next Scottish Government to ensure that integration is a success\, that resources are successfully transferred from acute to community\, and that NHS boards\, local authorities and the voluntary sector work in true partnership to deliver person-centred care. \nThis event is a good opportunity for you to question these priorities and hold each party to account to deliver on their election promises. We will be joined by Shona Robison MSP\, (Cabinet Secretary for Health\, Wellbeing & Sport\, Scottish Government and SNP – Invited)\, Jenny Marra MSP (Spokesperson for Equality\, Scottish Labour)\, Miles Briggs (Prospective Candidate\, Scottish Conservatives)\, Alison Johnstone MSP (Scottish Greens) and a Scottish Liberal Democrat representative (TBC). \nAttendance is free. Please book your place here. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact susan.lowes@mariecurie.org.uk \n

SUMMARY:Living and Learning Resource Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Most people know at least one person affected by M.E. (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis\, also diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome). The condition is more common than multiple sclerosis or parkinson’s disease\, and can be equally disabling. Yet M.E. remains poorly understood. In the absence of treatment options or specialist support\, people with M.E. and those who care for them have to become highly self-reliant. Through the Living and Learning project\, Action for M.E. has tapped into the collective wisdom and learning of people with M.E. and carers to produce a new person-centred Guide to living with M.E.  \nThis launch event for the new Guide will be held from 7-9pm with guest speaker Stuart Murdoch (musician\, writer & filmmaker) and will feature storytelling performances by participants in the Living and Learning project and family members. These will be followed by an interactive Q&A session chaired by Blythe Robertson (Scottish Government) and including healthcare professionals. The evening will end with a Reception (wine\, tea & coffee will be served) providing the opportunity to talk to participants and share experiences. There is no charge to attend the evening event and reception.  \nWe are also holding an afternoon Story-Sharing Workshop from 2-4.30pm. Participants will share their M.E. self-management experience and the workshop is open to anyone wanting to know more about managing this illness or to share your story. A charge applies to the workshop\, details below.  \nBoth the evening event and workshop will be held at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in Edinburgh (43-45 High Street\, EH1 1SR)\, on Wednesday 23rd March 2016  \nTo register for the evening event or workshop call 0131 556 9579 (open 10am-6pm Mon- Sat) or book online here:   (Nb. a £1 fee applies to online and phone bookings) \nTickets can also be booked in person at the Storytelling Centre Box office. \nPlaces at both the workshop and evening event are limited so early booking is advisable to avoid disappointment. We look forward to seeing you \n If you have any questions about the workshop please contact Katrina Allen\, Project Co-ordinator Scotland\, Action for M.E \n  \n  \n  \n
