Professional development
The MS Trust develops and runs a programme of educational events on a wide variety of topics relating to MS. We hold our events across the UK and offer general study days as well as courses and masterclasses for specialist MS practitioners. If you are a health or social care professional and work with people with MS, we hope one of our educational events will meet your needs.
We develop our programmes with nationally and internationally recognised MS Specialists to ensure the most relevant and up to date topics are included.
Getting funding for professional development can be challenging. In recent years many nurses, therapists and other health professionals have benefited from financial support from our bursary funds which have enabled them to extend their knowledge base. Please see the Bursaries and Funding section to see if you might qualify for financial support.
