Dr Charles Shepherd will be at a meeting with representatives from the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) on Thursday morning (22nd June) at the House of Lords.
The meeting has been arranged by the Countess of Mar to discuss all aspects of ME/CFS that are relevant to primary care – the importance of early and accurate diagnosis and sensible advice on management in particular.
There will be a presentations from Professor Kamila Hawthorne and Fiona Erasmus followed by questions and discussion.
