The British ME organisation "Invest in Me" is hosting a conference on May 24th 2010. When it was first announced, it seemed a million years away, but let's face it, time goes quickly. Last week "Invest in ME" announced their speakers list, which is impressive. The organisation celebrates it's first aniversary with this conference, it's the 5th already. This years slogan is "A New Era in ME/CFS Research", which it truely is. The theme is "Education of Health Care Staff in ME/CFS". It will be a one day conference, the doors will open at 8 am and it will be a long day. There are quiet rooms available for patients who would like to rest and food and beverages will be provided. The website holds all the details. This conference is available for patients, patient organisations, health care professionals and researchers. Invest in ME also appeals in particular to members of the government, social services, health departments and education to attend and learn about the truth behind ME/CFS. Patients pay the minimum fee of 35 pounds sterling, rates for other attendees are higher. If you are contemplating to attend the conference, please be aware that you will have to purchase the ticket in advance and that on average, hotels in the UK provide little comfort for a lot of money. Other than that, the setting is marvellous and if you have the opportunity to go, we would surely recommend it. |
