MS Trust welcomes new Director of Services

Dear MS community,

I wanted to introduce myself and say how delighted I am to be joining MS Trust on 15 December as the new Director of Services.

My background is in nursing and neurology, and throughout my career I’ve been privileged to care for and work alongside people living with MS, their families, and the health professionals who support them. My connection with MS Trust goes back many years — I first completed their specialist nurse training in 2004 and have since worked closely with the charity on education, service development, and national events. 

What drew me to this role is MS Trust’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that everyone with MS has access to trusted information, the right care, and the support they need to live life to the full. I share that passion deeply.

Over the coming months, I’ll be focusing on how we can continue to strengthen services, expand our helpline and information resources, and work together with health professionals to make sure care for people with MS is consistent and compassionate across the UK.

I’d love to hear from you — your experiences, your hopes, and your ideas are at the heart of what MS Trust does. Please get in touch at hpteam@mstrust.org.uk

I’m really looking forward to this new chapter and to supporting and working alongside you all.

With very best wishes,

Ruth Stross RGN
Director of Services
