Why should your team attend this session?
MS is the most common disabling neurological condition in working-aged adults, affecting over 150,000 people in the UK. In addition to physical challenges like mobility, balance, and strength, many people with MS experience invisible symptoms such as fatigue, bladder or bowel issues, and cognitive difficulties. These can impact daily living, employment, and overall wellbeing.
Professionals play a crucial role in supporting those with MS. MS-UK is here to help increase your team’s understanding of the condition and the support available to the MS community.

What will you learn?
This session will be delivered by an MS-UK team member, alongside a volunteer with lived experience of MS.

• What is MS?
• Myths and preconceptions
• Symptoms that may impact on wellbeing
• A lived experience of MS
• Symptom management tips

The kind of support that people with MS may need on their MS journey
 
Who should attend

• Health and social care workers
• Community based professionals
• Professionals that work for a charity or voluntary organisation supporting people with a disability
• Support workers or home care workers
• Professionals that work in health or social care
• Teams that support people living with MS
