The response to the ME Association from Oxford NHS was flippant

Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has received criticism for a job advert seeking a psychologist for its myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) clinic. The advert used derogatory language, provoking backlash from the ME community. Despite complaints, the trust defended the wording as generic and not specific to ME patients. Critics claim it demonstrates a lack of understanding and sensitivity towards the condition, reinforcing claims of systemic prejudice and negligence.
