Me and my MS Nurse, 03 May 2012

If you have MS, you will know what a difference it can make to have access to an MS specialist nurse.

However, changes happening now within the NHS mean that quality healthcare for people with MS could be seriously compromised. Specialist MS services are already stretched in many areas of the UK, but with funding being lost or reassigned, some vacant posts are not being replaced and other posts are under review. The MS Trust is working closely with MS specialist nurses whose jobs are under threat right now or whose time is being diverted from helping people with MS. We are helping them gather evidence to support their case and we are lobbying in their local communities to demonstrate what an essential and cost-effective service they provide.

Have you got a MS Nurse who has gone the extra mile? Someone who has gone above and beyond the call of duty to help you out? Why not nominate them for the "My MS Nurse Patient award"? Here is your chance to tell the world how important your MS nurse really is! In the next month we will have a form on this page where you can nominate your nurse. Fill this form in and nominate your nurse now! You can also send them an e-card to let them know how much you appreciate their help.

We will let your nurse know they have been nominated and then the MS nurse with the most nominations will receive a prize from the MS Trust.
