Achalasia Action

Welcome to the Achalasia Action (ACAC) community, which has been set up to help people living with achalasia and spasms in the oesophagus. Achalasia is a condition affecting motility and the ability of swallowed food to reach the stomach because of issues affecting peristalsis, the muscular process that propels food into the stomach. Our charity Achalasia Action is registered with the Charity Commission for England & Wales (no 1187367) and runs a website www.achalasia-action.org and a helpline 0300 772 7795. We organise patient support meetings two or three times a year, either online or, subject to COVID19 restrictions, at the Hospital of St John and St Elizabeth, 60 Grove End Road, St John’s Wood, London NW8 9NH. ‘Achalasia Explained’ can be downloaded from the ACAC website www.achalasia-action.org/information-hub.html We also produce a set of YouTube videos: Understanding Achalasia (the first we published) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHWFGdKINpE&t=181s Diagnosing Achalasia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRjzFzwJgnQ&t=378s Treatments: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXLJE4ezKfY&t=361s ACAC Charity https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8jvPJZ3qwk&t=148s
ICUsteps
7,534 members
ICUsteps (the Intensive Care Unit Support Teams for Ex-Patients) was founded in 2005 by ex-patients, their relatives and ICU staff to support patients and their families through the long road to recovery from critical illness. Our aims are to: - support patients and relatives affected by critical illness, - promote recognition of the physical and psychological consequences of critical illness through education of the medical - profession and the general public, and - encourage research into treatment and the prevention of these issues. We do this through our network of local support groups, through provision of critical illness patient and relative information in over a dozen languages, and through providing a patient voice to national healthcare bodies such as NHS England, NICE and the Critical Care Leadership Forum. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The guideline highlights: • Be kind, respectful, and understanding of one another - this is a scary time but we are all in this together • Post from your own experience - “For me, this worked…” rather than “You should do this…” • This is a space for emotional support - keep the medical advice to the professionals • Only share third-party information when absolutely necessary and from credible sources • No political content - it only causes arguments • This community should not be used for commercial or personal promotion - no selling, no fundraising, no spam • If you see something you’re concerned about, use the reporting functionality to flag it to the moderation team
