Secondary progressive MS book success in BMA awards


7 September 2015

The MS Trust book Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis was highly commended in the BMA Patient Information Awards, which were announced last night (7 September).

The BMA awards encourage well-designed, clinically balanced information that promotes greater awareness and understanding of health matters, and patient choice.

The award's reviewers described Secondary progressive multiple sclerosis as "well-written, well-laid out and very patient-centred... This is good quality information that is challenging in its subject matter, while being empathetic."

The book was written as an introduction for those living with the condition and for their family and friends. It describes what is happening when relapsing MS becomes progressive, why making a diagnosis is not always straightforward, and how rehabilitation can be used in the management of the condition.

The book was written with the help of a range of health professionals and people with secondary progressive MS. Their comments on living with the condition are used to illustrate the text.
