THE PACE TRIAL:
A controversial medical trial for the treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), known as the PACE trial, has been found to be ‘not reliable’ by a major new study. Described during the recent 3 hour Westminster Parlamentary Debate, as “One of the greatest medical scandals of the 21st Century."
Dr. David Tuller and Professor Brian Hughes have investigated and written extensively on the subject and will provide attendees with a unique opportunity, of the importance of their investigations being made available to decision makers, healthcare providers, academics and patients alike.
The large-scale, government-funded PACE trial cost £5 MILLION made claims that psychotherapy and exercise helped the estimated 250,000 sufferers of ME. Also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, ME presents symptoms such as unrelenting fatigue and profound pain. It has no known cure and can be exacerbated by physical exertion.
The PACE trial was funded by the UK Medical Research Council, Department of Health and Social Care (UK) for England, Scottish Chief Scientist Office, it is the most expensive piece of research into ME/CFS ever conducted. The trial dominates clinical policy in the United Kingdom and other countries, in both government funded health care and private medical insurance.

National Energy Action (NEA) NIOnline / VirtualSeminarTraining/AdviceWorkshopThe UK government set out a target, enshrined in the Climate Change Act (2008), to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across the whole of the UK by 2050. Decarbonising homes is central to achieving that target and there is an urgent need to address the carbon emissions produced in heating and powering domestic properties. While the electricity powering lighting and appliances is decarbonising fast, the majority of homes still rely on burning fossil fuels for heating, hot water and cooking. This course will provide an introduction to the role domestic scale renewable technologies can play in reducing carbon emissions. It will provide a non-technical explanation of how the technologies work, the factors to consider when installing these technologies, costings, potential carbon savings and their advantages and drawbacks.- - -NEA - NEW COURSE - Introduction to Domestic Renewable Low Carbon Technologies (Level 2 Award – CQ11641/001)
