Specialist nurses for people with MS in the UK

By Rob Carter | Individual Giving and Legacies Manager

Our MS specialist nurses work tirelessly to ensure that people with MS receive the personal, expert care and support they need. Over 3,600 people with MS in the UK are cared for by our funded MS nurses. Our nurses offer direct support, clinical advice, and the ability to connect MS patients to other services, such as a doctor or a therapist.

Four more MS nurses have been placed in Lothian, South Tees, North Lincolnshire & Goole and Coventry, alongside our pre-existing nurses in Bradford, Lanarkshire and Leicester.These nurses have achieved significant results that help to demonstrate the undeniable, positive difference MS nurses are making for people living with MS in the UK. These include;

  • Our MS specialist nurses now conduct joint visits with social care professionals to bring specialist MS expertise to the care of vulnerable adults
  • MS nursing teams are seeing more patients for longer and are more easily contactable
  • They are able to review patients more holistically and conduct interventions which might help reduce hospital admissions
  • Each MS nurse saves the NHS over £77,000 each year

Our MS nurses provide their specialist care free of charge and we receive no Government funding to run it. Your kindness and generosity make a real difference and help to ensure that more people living with MS have access to an MS nurse across the UK; ensuring that specialist care is available to them today and in the future.

On behalf of our staff, volunteers, and service users, thank you for your amazing support.

With very best wishes

Rob
