The purpose of this Scottish Good Practice Statement is to provide general practitioners with guidance that can be used to assist with the differential diagnosis and
clinical management of patients with ME-CFS. A copy of the main guidance can be accessed at the following link:

It contains more detailed information and underpins two other summary documents, prepared at the same time:
This Good Practice Statement is also primarily about the Care of Adults with ME-CFS, but in the absence as yet of a separate Good Practice
Statement on Children with ME-CFS, interim guidance on the management of children and young people with
ME-CFS is offered in Section 4. Further interim guidance on those severely affected, is offered in Section 5.
Research and development issues are considered in Section 6. Further advice for patient support and sources of further assistance are provided
in Section 7 and Appendix 1. It is hoped that these documents will be the first of a series which will inform health professionals on the
management of ME-CFS.
