To celebrate the Society’s 25th Anniversary, a seminar with Dr Richard Schloeffel, a GP who specialises in treating CFS, was held. Dr Schloeffel addressed a capacity crowd of 90 attendees. He spoke for approximately four hours and answered individual questions for another couple of hours following that.

In his address, Dr Schloeffel said he has been working with CFS since 1981. Today his practice has over 2500 people his books are full. He said his intention is to get information out into the wider community so practitioners can be trained up in the diagnosis and treatment and management of CFS.
