Research summary
The research aims to expand on a recent RUH Paediatric CFS/ME service improvement project to a larger sample of children and young people (CYP) with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, including those who declined the use of Skype or for whom Skype did not work well. Parents’ views of Skype for CFS/ME follow-up appointments will also be examined, and those of the healthcare professionals in the Paediatric CFS/ME clinical team.
