Course overview of Multiple Sclerosis Awareness
The Multiple Sclerosis Society has partnered with Flourish to create this free learning resource to raise awareness about Multiple Sclerosis.
Every year around 7,000 people are diagnosed with MS in the UK and more than 130,000 people in the UK have MS. The course explores the different types of MS, what the signs and symptoms are, how MS is diagnosed and the treatments available. We look at how to support people with MS and we explore more complex cases. There are lots of links to further information and resources provided by the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
