Webinars
Join Emerge Australia as we invite specialist healthcare practitioners to share their knowledge and expertise on topics surrounding ME/CFS and long COVID. These sessions aim to highlight the real-world diagnostic challenges faced by healthcare practitioners, particularly where symptoms are multi system, evolving, or initially attributed to more commonly understood conditions.
Live sessions: Most live sessions will be RACGP CPD approved. You can join us live, where you will have the chance to ask questions.
Recordings: You can access the webinar as a recording after the event and record your own CPD. A certificate of completion will be provided.

Additional Resources
HealthPathways
HealthPathways are clinical management and referral resources designed to be used during consultations with GPs. Each area in Australia has a Primary Health Network (PHN) that adapts a HealthPathway to make it relevant to their local health services.
In 2023, Emerge Australia partnered with the North Western Melbourne Primary Health Network to develop a HealthPathway for ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).

Creating an accessible healthcare practice
Attending medical appointments or testing centers may exacerbate symptoms for patients with ME/CFS or long COVID.
People with ME/CFS often present well, however they will likely need rest before and after an appointment. For those with more severe symptoms, clinic visits may not be possible.
Telehealth is a valuable resource for all patients to manage their energy.
ME/CFS resource for school nurses
School nurses can make a big difference in the life of a student with ME/CFS. School nurses are well placed to work in partnership with the student, their family, teaching staff, and the learning and support teams within the school, developing appropriate accommodations to allow students with ME/CFS to continue to attend school and connect with their peers.
Please read more about supporting students with ME/CFS in a school environment by downloading our flyer.
Keep up with the latest research about ME/CFS
Emerge Australia’s monthly Research Digest summarises the latest Australian and international research journal articles on ME/CFS. The Research Digest focuses on biomedical research and contains three or four short summaries of recent research publications.
Read the latest issue or sign up to have the Research Digest delivered by email so you don’t miss out on future issues.
ME/CFS Back to Basics
This is a 20 minute, recorded education session that provides fundamental information about ME/CFS and principles of management. It was presented to a group of nurses and social workers. However, anyone wanting a quick, foundational introduction would benefit.
We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback about the presentation.
