The National ME Centre is based in the Disablement Services Centre (DSC) at the Old Harold Wood Hospital Site, Romford, Essex.
In the early 1990′s, Dr Betty Dowsett (microbiologist) and Professor Leslie Findley (neurologist) were concerned by the growing number of patients they were seeing who were being diagnosed with CFS/ME and by the lack of guidance and support available to those patients. They employed a manager (Karen Walsh) and the NMEC was ‘born’.
