'''Margaret Williams''' is a pseudonym for a patient advocate who used to work in the [[National Health Service]] (NHS) in the [[United Kingdom]] in a senior clinical capacity until severe [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]] (ME) put an end to her career. She has written extensively about [[myalgic encephalomyelitis|ME]], often in collaboration with Professor [[Malcolm Hooper]]. For professional and personal reasons she does not wish her own name to be in the public domain. Her articles illustrate how the "[[Wessely school|Wessely School]]" have ignored the biomedical science on [[ME/CFS]] for almost 30 years. A catalogue of over 330 articles by Margaret Williams and Professor Malcolm Hooper and others may be found [http://www.margaretwilliams.me/ here].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.margaretwilliams.me/ | title = Articles on ME/CFS by Margaret Williams and Prof Malcolm Hooper and others | website = margaretwilliams.me|access-date=2018-10-14}}</ref> ==Major articles== *1994, [http://www.margaretwilliams.me/1994/the-views-of-dr-simon-wessely-on-me-scientific-misconduct.pdf The Views of Dr. Simon Wessely on M.E.: Scientific Misconduct in the Selection and Presentation of Available Evidence?] *1996, [http://www.margaretwilliams.me/1996/observations-on-joint-royal-colleges-report-cr54.pdf Observations on Joint Royal Colleges' Report] *1996, [http://www.margaretwilliams.me/1996/denigration-by-design-vol1.pdf Denigration by Design?
