Multiple Sclerosis-UK (MS-UK) has announced free MS awareness training sessions for professionals and volunteers, with the next taking place on Friday 17 April 2026, 10:30am – 11:30am, with future sessions taking place:
“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.”
The session will be delivered by a MS-UK team member, alongside a volunteer with lived experience of MS, and cover:
- what is MS?
- myths and preconceptions
- symptoms that may impact on wellbeing
- a lived experience of MS
- symptom management tips
- support people with MS may need on their MS journey
Sessions are open to health and social care workers, community-based professionals, those working or volunteering with a charity, third sector or voluntary organisation supporting people with a disability, support workers or home care workers, professionals who work in health or social care, and teams supporting people living with MS.
The recording will also be sent to attendees after the event. In addition, MS-UK offers an eLearning course, along with a variety of online training sessions on Zoom for professionals.
