MS Nurse Pro

With new therapies entering the market, the potential for increased efficacy, tolerability, adherence, and convenience for patients is evident. However, the resulting change in the treatment paradigm means that the skills required from MS nurses will inevitably expand. There will be a growing need for professional training and development. MS Nurse PRO was launched to fill this gap and offer MS nurses the education and knowledge on the wider range of treatments and therapies.

"People living with MS hugely value their nurses. EMSP's session with nurses in collaboration with RIMS, IONMS & ECTRIMS goes beyond the education of nurses in MS. It provides support, on-line tools & solidarity amongst nurses across Europe. The MS Nurse Pro on-line curriculum is an enabling tool & support for nurses. By ensuring that MS nurses are skilled and educated to respond to the changing treatment landscape we can ultimately improve the safety and consistency of care provided to those affected by MS."
-Anne Winslow, President of the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform
