The Irish ME/CFS Association is pleased to announce that it has arranged for Dr Ros Vallings, a leading international ME expert from New Zealand, to give 3 Irish ME/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome talks this May. The talks will include questions-and-answers sessions.
Dr Ros Vallings brings a wealth of clinical experience from 50 (!) years dealing with ME patients. She is also right up-to-date with what happens internationally. She attends the Invest in ME conference each year and the IACFS/ME conferences that are on every 2 years including the one that just took place in Florida last October.
She has written three books on the subject in recent years: (i) Chronic Fatigue Syndrome M.E. Symptoms, Diagnosis, Management (352 pages); (ii) Managing ME/CFS A Guide for Young People (144 pages) and (iii) 'The Essential Guide to CFS/ME'.
Admission is E5, on the door, to help towards the costs of organising these three meetings, and Dr. Vallings' trip
