Meet the members of MS21
MS in the 21st Century (MS21) started in 2011 as a group of healthcare professionals (HCPs) who wanted to improve the standard of multiple sclerosis (MS) care for everyone. The group quickly realised the importance of involving patients in this initiative and so, in 2016, people living with MS (PwMS) were invited to join the group.
The guiding principles adopted by MS21 are to:
- Improve communication between healthcare professionals and PwMS.
- Develop practical educational resources based on real-world needs and data to support and drive this change.
- Conduct real-world evidence to further understand the unmet needs in MS care.
Please see below for more information about the current MS21 members.
