We already had received encouragement and praise from a number of sources including GP’s and MP’s.

We are very pleased to tell you that with only minor changes to our draft we now have the approval and endorsement of Professor Allen Hutchinson.

This is excellent news. The summary is a 2 sided document (A4). It is easy to read with clever visual aids. It is a very important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of CFS/ME and we are planning to circulate copies to every GP and health professional with an interest in ME in the North East (& beyond).

We are indebted to John Crichton a volunteer member for his expertise, time and diligence to ensure the document could be validated and used extensively with a special thank you to Peter and Sue for their invaluable support. We are preparing the document in a silk varnish finish for durability. Copies will also be sent to all members with additional copies available from the office in the New Year.

We are looking for support from the Department of Health and Primary Care Trusts for blanket coverage of all health professionals, but if you know someone who may be interested and would wish to receive information - let us know.
This is a useful method of capturing information for busy clinicians”
