MS-UK are delighted to offer free MS awareness training sessions for professionals and volunteers.
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.

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