Invest in ME - APPG Researchers Visiting Parliament and APPG

APPG 2011

Researchers to Visit Parliament and APPG on ME

IiME were recently invited to be part of the All Party Parliamentary Group for ME.

The APPG is currently chaired by Annette Brooke.

As one of the first actions we have asked Annette to facilitate a meeting in parliament between MPs from the APPG group and some of the researchers at the IiMEC6 conference.

This has now been agreed.

We hope this will assist all MPs who attend to discover more about the realities of this disease and of the biomedical research which is being carried out, and which could be carried out in Europe.

A list of the APPG MPs appears below.
