Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most common disabling neurological condition in working-aged adults, affecting over 150,000 people in the UK. MS-UK aims to increase understanding of the condition and raise awareness of the support available to the MS community.

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 which can impact daily living, employment, and overall wellbeing.

Professionals play a crucial role in supporting those with MS. Aligned with this, MS-UK is offering free MS awareness training sessions for professionals and volunteers. Taking place on Wednesday 21 May 2025 at 10am, the session will cover:

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

This session is aimed at:

health and social care workers
community-based professionals
professionals who work for a charity or voluntary organisation supporting people with a disability
support workers or home care workers
professionals who work in health or social care
teams that support people living with MS
