As was previously reported by #MEAction, Dr Sarah Myhill has made a formal complaint to the General Medical Council (GMC) about the authors of the PACE trial.
In addition to asking people to write to the Chairman of the GMC, she has now set up an online petition which people can sign if they wish to support the complaint:
https://www.change.org/p/the-general-medical-council-i-am-showing-my-support-for-dr-myhill-s-complaint-to-the-gmc-about-the-pace-authors
The petition is open to all UK and non UK citizens.
The PACE trial was a deeply flawed study which has resulted in harm to ME patients around the world due to the negative impact it has had on prescribed treatments, research, services and attitudes. If you would like the GMC to investigate the conduct of the PACE trial authors please consider signing the petition and/or writing to the GMC.
