Members' Queries

From time to time UKMSSNA members request information from fellow members to help them provide better care to their patients, to help with dissertations, protocols, care pathways, training, etc. etc.  Access the responses to queries on the Members' Queries page, or go to the webpage for the specific symptom or topic.  If you wish to make a request or have a query which you wish to have circulated to members and put on the website, please email ukmssna@ukmssna.hinterland.nu

Slide Library

The Slide Library has been put together by UKMSSNA members to improve the consistency and quality of the information being circulated on multiple sclerosis.  The presentations reflect current best practice, the NICE recommendations and the role of the MS nurse in the management of the condition. 

It contains a number of different slide sets on a range of topics that are regularly presented by MS nurses.  Each set has been developed as a core resource on a particular topic rather than intending to represent a complete and finished presentation on any of the subjects. They provide you with the core essentials that you can adapt and supplement to suit your particular need.
