We have recruited new members to the working group, which is very exciting. However, we are also looking to recruit occupational therapists, clinical psychologists, dieticians and speech and language therapists to ensure we have a broad array of specialist skills.
If you are interested please email us at therapistsinms@mstrust.org.uk - you would be very welcome!
Thank you for supporting the MS Trust with our 360 view MS Service Mapping project as we map MS services around the UK.
The 360 View: MS Service Mapping Project is a major endeavour to map MS services around the UK. This project will help us understand the challenges facing the NHS and people living with MS and show us where we can work most effectively to meet that need.
The primary outcome will be a series of reports ranging from the big picture to regionalised studies of MS services around the UK. We will analyse the variations in service structure and delivery, and relate that to the experiences of service users.
The MS Trust 2026 conference planning is underway!
The conference will run from Sunday 22 – Tuesday 24 March 2026 at Leonardo Hotel and Conference Venue, Hinckley Island.
Thank you to those of you who have shared your ideas for the conference programme.
