Advocate
In this guideline, the role of an advocate is to support a vulnerable or disadvantaged person with ME/CFS and ensure that their rights are being upheld in a health and social care context. They are chosen by the person with ME/CFS and could be a family member, carer, friend or an independent advocate. They make sure that the person is heard.
