Advocacy

Myaware has taken the following steps to ensure that the needs and voices of our members are heard with regard to Coronavirus vaccinations:

• Myaware has written to the Ministers for Health in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland as well as numerous local MPS to request a statement of intent with regard to plans to protect those who are immunocompromised against the effects of Coronavirus. Here you will find a template letter if you wish to write to your local MP regarding this subject.

Please see attached reply from Maggie Throup MP in response to a letter sent to Caroline Ansell MP by a myaware trustee.

• Myaware has joined www.nationalvoices.org.uk the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England so that members needs are represented.

• Myaware is a long term member of the Neurological Alliance www.neural.org.uk The Neurological Alliance is a coalition of more than 80 organisations working together to transform outcomes for the millions of people in England with a neurological condition. They campaign for high quality care and support to meet the individual needs of every person with a neurological condition, at every stage of their life. Myaware recently received the following information from Neurological Alliance regarding their advocacy work on behalf of those who are immunosuppressed or compromised.
