Has anyone received a referral to this service? Interesting use of assessment and outcome measures that I had not seen publicised before. Have a look at the website - seems to cater for a large variety of conditions - although this service is specific for CFS/ME.
The service is not free or part of the NHS I don't think - though perhaps referral might be I don't know.
I would be interested in hearing from former patients or their families with a view to perhaps writing something by way of an article. Inpatient services are very rare - there is either nothing for severe patients or only home visits if you are lucky. You can contact me via the forums (send a PM) or by email: russell@phoenixrising.me Thanks
