Looks interesting! They sound like good people.

Do you forget to return that phone call? Forget appointments? Has it become worse since you were diagnosed with ME? The Chronic Illness Research Team (CIRT) at the University of East London, led by Professor Christine Dancey, has already published work which showed a small group of people with ME had some specific memory problems. They now wish to investigate further.
Memory problems are often not taken seriously by health professionals. This research may well advance the understanding of the problems faced by people with ME.
Participants will be visited in their home (or they can come to the University). The tasks required are interesting and fun, eg theres a computerised version of a board game. There are also questionnaires.
Staff always report back the results of our study to participants and all the studies have ethical approval.
CIRT is an ME-friendly team, which includes staff who have been diagnosed with ME. They do not carry out research investigating the causes or triggers of ME, as they believe as psychologists these are medical and therefore not within their remit.
