Profile Dr. Vallings sent us:
Dr Rosamund Vallings MNZM, MB BS (Lond), MRCS LRCP, Dip Clin Hyp, BA
(Massey)
I have run a medical practice since 1966, and the practice has become
specialised over the past 30 years, with most patients suffering from
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME), Fibromyalgia and related conditions. I am
closely involved in diagnosing and managing these patients who mostly come
on referral from other doctors from all over New Zealand. I participate in
regular seminars for these patients, and have produced an education booklet
and a number of information sheets for patients. I have written a book on
the diagnosis and management of CFS/ME which was published in September
2012.
I am medical adviser to the ANZMES - the local national organisation
supporting those with CFS/ME. I have been involved in GP and student
education at the University of Auckland and have also spoken to medical
groups around NZ. I have regularly attended international CFS/ME conferences
and presented papers. I always produce a detailed report from these
conferences for international distribution. I have visited a number of
CFS/ME centres overseas, and maintain contact with many overseas CFS/ME
organisations.
I am a board member and secretary of the International Association for
CFS/ME (IACFS) and currently write their regular newsletter.
I have been involved in planning and implementing a pilot programme for
education of social welfare case workers. I have reviewed the overseas
guidelines for the diagnosis and management of CFS/ME for the NZ Guidelines
Group, with a view to providing a set of NZ guidelines.
I have recently been involved with the IACFS in producing a physicians'
primer to be used internationally, and I have also participated in an
international group based in Canada producing a recently published updated
consensus definition for the illness.
I have frequently been involved in collaborative research both in NZ and
overseas.
In January 2008, I was awarded the Membership of the NZ Order of Merit for
services to CFS/ME in the Queen's New Years Honours.
