Welcome to the Christmas edition of the TiMS newsletter. It seems like only yesterday when we were writing Christmas cards and wrapping presents and here we are, at it again! They say that time goes quickly when you’re having fun and the TiMS working group has certainly been having a wonderfully busy time this year working on lots of new projects which we hope will help you to help people with MS receive the services they deserve.
