MS-UK are offering free MS awareness training sessions in April for professionals and volunteers.
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.
