Happy New Year
from all at
Invest in ME would like to wish everyone a Happy New
Year and pass on our hopes that 2008 will be see
improvements in the way ME/CFS is perceived, treated and
researched.
We start the year in
planning of several new projects, in collaboration with
some of our contacts, which we hope will raise awareness
of ME/CFS and we hope to have more details soon. We are
also planning for the May conference which offers a
exciting line-up of ME/CFS experts discussing Sub
Grouping and Treatments of ME/CFS - and we hope to see
as many of you there as possible, with as many local
healthcare staff accompanying you. Our rates for pwme
and their carers are again discounted as they are for
students and for charities -

Our
Sponsor a GP
scheme again allows a discount for any healthcare
staff who attend in connection with a local ME/CFS
support group and we would like to ask all support
groups and friends of IiME to contact local healthcare
services and distribute the information of the
conference to them. This doesn't cost anything to the
local group and will, we hope,
foster better relations between support groups and
patients and GPs, paediatricians, nurses and other
healthcare staff. More details
available here and our conference
flyer is available to be downloaded
from here.
The agenda for the
conference will be finalised in January.
IiME have recently
published our review of 2007 and our accounts were
published with the Charities commission at the end of
2007. More details from our web site where the reports
may be downloaded here -
for 2007 and
for 2006 (i.e.
before IiME was a charity).
We'd like to thank all
those who helped us in 2007 for all of the support
provided.
Best wishes for 2008 to all.
