Nearly 250 people packed Hove Town Hall on September 26th to hear Prof Leslie Findley, Dr Keith Hine, Dr Kamal Patel, Dr Alan Stewart, Dr Mario Vegara-Williamson and Dr Mike Broughton along with George Armstrong from AfME give presentations and enter into discussions. Chairman of the Parliamentary group for ME, Des Turner MP was there as were representatives of the local NHS specialist CFS/ME teams and several GPs, nurses and social workers. Representatives of the local Primary Care Trusts and education authorities also attended and various organisations and practitioners had information stands on site. There was a wonderfully positive and friendly atmosphere at the venue and refreshments were served and music played.
