UK Guidelines released by Chief Medical Officer

It is our desire to present a series of commentaries, overviews and opinions on the recently released UK Guidelines. These guidelines are important – they represent a major step forward. This is not to say they are ideal – they are far from it. But given the say psychiatrists have had on UK CFS, it should be seen as the first step forward in a long journey to come.

The full report can be found here.

We begin with a summary by Moira Smith, and move on to responses by consumer groups and researchers – giving a range of perspectives.

Paul has also written an editorial which can be found on our website here.
