ME/CFS Diagnostic and Early Management Clinic
This clinic focuses on diagnostic assessment and initial management for patients who have not yet received a confirmed diagnosis or appropriate early guidance. Due to high demand, priority is given to patients under 20, those unwell for less than approximately six months, and patients with significant diagnostic uncertainty.
Consultations take place via Telehealth. Patients must have a New Zealand GP, who remains responsible for ongoing general medical care and most repeat prescribing.
