I would like to tell you about a research company which Fibromyalgia Association UK will be working with in future to better understand people’s experiences of Fibromyalgia. Through our partnership we hope to be able to increase awareness of Fibromyalgia and work with healthcare providers to help improve how the disease is diagnosed and treated.
PIP health is a research company that aims to increase understanding of patients and improve the care they receive. They do research, mostly through online surveys, and use the results to represent the voice of patients with healthcare providers, who pay them for their research. They will also be doing research for FMA UK, which we can use to raise awareness of Fibromyalgia in the government, medical community and media.
What's more, PIP health will donate £1 to FMA UK for every person who signs up to take part in research through this link, and another £1 for every survey completed.

So please, sign up for PIP health now and help us to improve healthcare for others with Fibromyalgia.
Thank you.

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.
