Who is the session for?

This live webinar has been designed specifically for all nursing staff who may care for people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

This session is suitable for nurses who may be working in a hospital, nursing home, a GP practice, rehabilitation environment, residential care home, nursing home, or for nursing staff who work in the community.

Why attend?

This session will help you feel more confident and equipped to support patients with MS and give you a better understanding of what life is like living with MS.

The webinar will offer unique insights on MS, highlighting the advancements in MS care over the past 30 years. It will explore the evolution of disease-modifying treatments, alongside best practices in symptom and relapse management. There will be a strong emphasis on patient engagement, and empowerment of the individual affected by MS through self-management techniques.

For the last few years, the model of care and support has been moving from the paternalistic/medical model of disability to a more collaborative, patient-empowered social model of care. As the title of the session tells you, the webinar aims to help develop understanding around the transformative shift in MS management – From reactive to proactive: Lived experience and the nursing role in multiple sclerosis care.
