Stornaway, Western Isles
A Fatigue Management Programme was opened in May 2011 at the Western Isles Hospital in Stornoway to help people with fatigue to explore the reasons for the fatigue and equip them with the techniques to manage the problem better. A video link to Uist and Barra Hospital may be set up, if there is a demand for it. The Western Isles, with a population of about 26,000 people, has no specialist ME/CFS service. To inquire about joining the programme, please contact Elaine Smith, Occupational Therapy Department, tel: 01851 708287, or email
elaine.smith1@nhs.net who will send you an application form.
That's it as far as hospital based services for a part of the UK with a population of around 5.400,000 - with no specialists referral service for children and adolescents at all…
