Dr Alastair Miller praises the Sussex & Kent ME/CFS Society in Sussex Argus
- Thread starter Tom Kindlon
- Start date
Colin Barton goes round on social media slagging people off for banging on about PACE hence Alistair Miller being involved in this organisation not surprising
just makes me sad that the Green MP supports them

As probably many are aware, at one time Professor Findley was set to run his own pilot on the Lightning Process, and had developed a LP analogue with co-workers, called neurobehavioural training, for which a dedicated website was developed but apparently no longer exists. There was also anecdote on the Bad Science forum dating back to 2011 re a Queen's Hospital in patient stay at the CFS Unit and Professor Findley's involvement with LP at that time. Interesting to note that both he and Esther Crawley are medical advisors to the Sussex & Kent ME/CFS Society.

MEDICAL ADVISORS
Professor Leslie J Findley
Prof Findley is consultant neurologist and clinical lead at the Essex Neurosciences Unit at Queen’s Hospital. He is also clinical lead for the Clinical Network Coordinating Centre overseeing the NHS Kent & Medway CFS/ME Service.
Prof Findley received his undergraduate medical training at the University of Sheffield, graduating MB, ChB in 1968. Between 1973 and 1981 he undertook postgraduate training in neurology at the Institute of Neurology, London and St Mary’s Hospital Medical School. He was appointed consultant neurologist at the Essex Neurosciences Unit in 1981. He was visiting consultant neurologist to Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital until its closure in 1991 and was appointed Professor of Health Sciences (Neurology) at University of London, South Bank in 1996. Prof Findley is the Clinical Director of a referral centre for patients with complex fatigue syndromes of all types. He has contributed to WHO and national guidelines on the subject of diagnosis and management of fatigue syndromes.
Dr Alan Stewart
Dr Alan Stewart qualified in medicine from Guy’s Hospital in 1976 and underwent training in a variety of medical specialities, becoming a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1979. He has worked in the independent medical sector since the early 1980s and wrote a variety of popular books on nutrition and women’s health. His interest in CFS/ME developed in the early 1990s and was appointed to the post of medical practitioner to the NHS Sussex CFS/ME service at the end of 2012. He maintains a broad awareness of medical problems and undertakes regular training through the Royal College of Physicians as well as through the various CFS/ME medical groups and societies. Whilst the cause(s) of CFS/ME remain uncertain Dr Stewart considers that there is now a clear and common-sense pathway to help many people with this diagnosis as well as other types of fatigue using a multidisciplinary approach. He considers that the success of the service is very much due to the presence of an experienced team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists aided by the activities of patient support groups.
Professor Esther Crawley

I was about to say the same thing. Looking at that list made me rather nauseous.
