The ME/CFS Priority Setting Partnership enters its final stage with workshops to decide the top ten ME/CFS research priorities. The aim of the workshops is to agree the top ten questions for research into ME/CFS which matter most to people living with ME/CFS, their carers, supporters, and the healthcare professionals who work with them. It is envisaged that these questions will add a new perspective to the research agenda for ME/CFS. The process will be facilitated by The James Lind Alliance.
Over the last year people with ME/CFS, carers, supporters, and health care professionals were asked for their views on ME/CFS questions they wanted answering by research. Over 5,300 ideas were submitted. These questions were reviewed, collated and summarised, into a long list of 59 questions. These 59 questions were prioritised by over 2,000 people who engaged in a second survey, giving a shortlist of about 15 questions which will go to the final workshops.
The Priority Setting Partnership wishes to recruit approximately 30 people who have lived experience of ME/CFS, carers and supporters including family, and healthcare professionals working in this field. This includes people with all severities of ME/CFS. The workshops will take place on Zoom:
- Saturday 5th March 1.00pm – 2.30pm
- Thursday 10th March 5.30pm -7.00pm
- Friday 18th March 2.00pm – 4.00pm
