The 'Link Up' programme brings small groups of people together through a facilitated telephone conference call. These discussion groups allow members to consider a range of health and personal issues related to ME/CFS without leaving home.
In 2007 ME/CFS Australia (Victoria) held a number of highly successful 'Link Ups'. In November, the Society held a 'Link Up' with a number of medical practitioners, including Dr. Don Lewis and Dr. Nicole Phillips, who discussed the diagnosis, management and treatment of ME/CFS. Copies of this Link Up, branded 'Doc Talk', are available for purchase for $25 in the bookshop, or by ringing (03) 9888 8991.
Due to the departure of a number of volunteers critical to this programme, the Society has been unable to hold any 'Link Ups' in 2008. We are currently seeking a volunteer to undertake the coordinaton and facilitation of the 'Link Up' Programme, and we will keep interested members informed as to our progress.
