CFS/ME Services in North Wales

There are two programmes in North Wales currently providing services to assist sufferers in their management of their CFS/ME. These are based at Connah’s Quay Clinic in Deeside, receiving referrals from the east of North Wales, and Eryri Hospital in Caernarfon taking referrals from the west. The campaigning of our support group played a large part in the NHS setting up these clinics.

Referral

Referral to the services is via the individual’s own GP after they have diagnosed CFS/ME. They should write to:

ME/CFS Service,

Connah’s Quay Clinic, Wepre Drive, Connah’s Quay, Deeside, Flintshire CH5 4HA.

or

About the Schemes at the Clinics

The schemes are both multidisciplinary, with input from General Practice Physicians, Clinical Psychologists, Dieticians and Physiotherapists. The programme In Connah's Quay involves attending eight group sessions, on a weekly basis, where the sufferer is coached in various skills to assist in managing the condition with the hope of gaining sufficient control over symptom fluctuation to improve function and quality of life.
