edmesh extended another warm welcome to Dr Vance Spence, (Chairman) and Dr Neil Abbot (Operations Director), from the Perth based charity, ME Research UK (MERUK).

He explained that MERUK’s mission is to “Energise ME Research” by funding high calibre research into the causes of ME, which will lead to effective treatment and ultimately, discovery of a cure.
