If only he had stuck to working as a labourer - he would have made a far more beneficial contribution to society
Looks like he's only retiring from one of his roles and that he will still be afforded the status to be.... what he has been as far as ME is concerned (forum rules preventing me from saying what that is, in my opinion.)
Yes, very much so. He was one of the PACE trial lead clinicians, and works for insurance companies telling them not to give long term disability insurance payouts to pwME. He also takes every opportunity possible to complain in the media about being the subject of attacks by activist patients.
Sort of Leonberger: bio, psycho and social. " "If the Leonberger reminds you of a Newfoundland mixed with a Saint Bernard, it should. That's exactly how the breed originated. In the mid-1840s, Heinrich Essig of Leonberg, Germany, crossed a Newfoundland with a Saint Bernard for four generations, then added in a Pyrenean Mountain Dog to the mix. The result of these several generations of breeding is the Leonberger."
Even if Prof Sharpe remains a “honorary consultant”, I understand that he will see fewer patients — and thus harm fewer of them too. This alone is a step forward. The problematic part is that he has now more time for research projects, so we may expect more annoying publications from him.
Yea considering their approach to "science" shouldn't be difficult to rattle off a few "scientific" publications.
While conveniently ignoring what his fellow academics/peers, like Brian Hughes, say about his research methods --- pick your enemy --- the vulnerable, disabled --- much easier than the challenges from folks like Brian.

Wasn't the main conclusion from his last paper on C-L that it wasn't actually useful or wanted? This is basically a participation trophy. So the Academy of C-L gives its "highest award" to someone who simply runs a C-L service, something that isn't even useful or in demand. Damn what a joke.
