He has long been a supporter of [[patient advocacy]] and is associated with the charity [[Invest in ME]] serving both as the Chair and a member of the Research Advisory Board. ==Gibson Inquiry== Dr Gibson chaired the Gibson Inquiry into CFS/ME. It published its findings in November 2006.<ref name="Gibson" /> It’s official title was “Inquiry into the status of CFS / M.E. and research into causes and treatment“ & it was led by the Group on Scientific Research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) which was made up of parliamentarians (MPs & Lords) & it took evidence over a year. One of its main recommendations was that the MRC put £11m into biomedical research to balance out funding that had gone into CFS biopsychosocial studies ==Talks and interviews== *2006, Speaker at the 1st [[Invest in ME International ME Conference]]<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC1.shtml | title = IIMEC1 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - ''Opening Remarks'' - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Q_gg_7Hj4E (Video)] *2007, Speaker at the 2nd Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening Remarks''for Day 2<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC2.shtml | title = IIMEC2 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC2.shtml#dvd DVD available] *2011, [http://www.meassociation.org.uk/2011/12/dr-ian-gibson-talks-to-bbc-radio-norfolk-13-december-2011/ Dr Ian Gibson talks to Helen McDermott at BBC Radio Norfolk] *2012, Speaker at the 7th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening Remarks'' by the Chair<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC7.shtml | title = IIMEC7 International ME Conference 2012 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC7.shtml#dvd DVD available] *2013, Speaker at the 8th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening Remarks'' by the Chair<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC8.shtml | title = IIMEC8 International ME Conference 2013 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC8.shtml#dvd DVD available] *2014, Speaker at the 9th [[Invest in ME International ME Conference]] - ''Opening Remarks by the Chair -'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDeNB7_Q6Ts&t=198s (Video)] *2015, Speaker at the 10th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening Remarks'' by the Chair<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC10.shtml | title = IIMEC10 International ME Conference 2015 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC10.shtml#dvd DVD available] *2016, Speaker at the 11th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening Remarks'' by the Chair<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC11.shtml | title = IIMEC11 International ME Conference 2016 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC11.shtml#dvd DVD available] *2017, Speaker at the 12th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Welcome to #IIMEC12''<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC12.shtml | title = IIMEC12 International ME Conference 2017 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmQ9lMx7YYk (Video)] *2018, Speaker at the 13th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Welcome to #IIMEC13''<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC13.shtml | title = IIMEC13 International ME Conference 2018 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> *2019, Speaker at the 14th Invest in ME International ME Conference - ''Opening to #IIMEC14''<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.investinme.org/IIMEC14.shtml | title = IIMEC14 14th Invest in ME Reseaerch International ME Conference 2019 | website = [[Invest in ME Research]]|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> ''-'' [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDeNB7_Q6Ts&t=181s (Video)] ==Books== *2017, ''[[Science, Politics, .......and ME: A health scandal in our generation]],'' by Dr Ian Gibson (Author) and Ms Elaine Sherriffs (Contributor)<ref>{{Cite web | url = https://www.amazon.co.uk/Science-Politics-ME-scandal-generation/dp/1543183786/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=science%2C+politics+and+me&qid=1563102283&s=gateway&sr=8-4 | title = Science, Politics, .......and ME: A health scandal in our generation | last = | first = | authorlink = | date = | website = Amazon|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref> - [https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1543183786/ Book at Amazon] ==Gibson Inquiry== *2006, Inquiry into the status of CFS / M.E. and research into causes and treatment (The Gibson Report)<ref name="Gibson">{{Cite web | url = http://www.erythos.com/gibsonenquiry/docs/me_inquiry_report.pdf | title=Inquiry into the status of CFS / M.E. and research into causes and treatment (The Gibson Report) | last = Group on Scientific Research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis | first = | date = November 2006 | website = |format = PDF | archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2018-10-14|quote=There is great dispute over the findings and beliefs of Professor Simon Wessely. Many patient groups believe Wessely and his colleagues are responsible for maintaining the perception that ME is a psychosocial illness. Wessely gave up the research side of his work possibly due to extreme harassment he received from a very small fringe section of the ME community.<br>There is conflicting evidence available regarding Wessely’s true opinions. The Group invited Wesseley to speak at an Oral Hearing, however he declined the offer and sent his colleagues Dr Trudie Chandler and Dr Anthony Cleare... Wessely did not submit a written piece to the Inquiry, however in a letter to the Inquiry he did set out his belief that CFS/ME has a biological element which needs further research and investigation.}}</ref> [http://www.erythos.com/gibsonenquiry/docs/me_inquiry_report.pdf (Full text)] ==References== {{Reflist}} [[Category:Advocates or allies]] [[Category:British advocates or allies]] [[Category:Psychological paradigm critics]] [[Category:PACE trial critics]] [[Category:Authors]] [[Category:Advocates or allies]] [[Category:United Kingdom politicians]] [[Category:Politicians]] [[Category:United Kingdom Members of Parliament]]
