FMA UK will be attending the BSR conference in Glasgow next week. As a result our office will be operating in a reduced capacity with staff and volunteers helping out at the conference. We are looking forward to the conversations that we will be having with medical professionals and spreading the message about fibromyalgia. This is the single biggest event in terms of the distubution of booklets and material targetted at professionals.
With it being on the offices doorstep we dont have boxes of literature being posted around the country which makes organisation a lot simpler :) I am sure we will have some material to share after the conference and will post anything relevant on our facebook page during the event.

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.
