MS Trust Shop Multiple sclerosis information for health and social care professionals
Compiled with the help of specialist health and social care professionals, and of people affected personally by MS, this book aims to improve the level of understanding of MS amongst those who work with, and care for, people who have the condition.
This fourth edition of Multiple sclerosis information for health and social care professionals has been compiled by the MS Trust with the help of specialist health and social care professionals, and people affected personally by multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of the book - and of the MS Trust - is to improve the level of understanding of MS amongst those who work with, and care for, people who have the condition. We recognise the challenge that MS presents for professionals but hope that professionals will also acknowledge the challenge for a person receiving a diagnosis of MS, knowing that they will live for the rest of their life with the condition, yet having no idea how it might progress.
The ambition of this book is to:
- offer an overview of MS
- provide a resource for professionals who work with people with MS
- answer some of the questions about the management of MS and its symptoms
- offer directions for further information through references and bibliographies.
