Peter White
Professor Emeritus in Psychological Medicine at BARTS and the London School of Medicine, and Chief Medical Officer, Swiss Re
Peter White is Professor Emeritus of Psychological Medicine at Barts and the London Medical School and a CMO at Swiss Re Life and Health in London, advising on psychiatric conditions and functional somatic syndromes. He has recently retired as a consultant liaison (general hospital) psychiatrist at Bart’s hospital, and led the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) service there.
He has always been interested in illnesses affecting both mind and body and understanding the links between both. His research has focused particularly on the aetiology and treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), helping to establish the place of rehabilitative treatments such as cognitive behaviour therapy and graded exercise therapy. His most recent trial was published in The Lancet this year, which showed that guided self-help, based on graded exercise rehabilitation, is safe and moderately effective in reducing fatigue in patients with CFS, when added to specialist medical care, compared to specialist medical care alone.
