Awareness Day

The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Nurse Specialists held an awareness day to coincide with 3rd world MS day on Wednesday, 25th of May. Information stands were located at the main concourse of the hospital and outside the staff canteen. The aim of the day was to create a greater understanding of the condition and to inform staff how to refer to, and explain the role and services of the nurse specialists and MS Ireland. Many thanks to Mary Ryan, regional caseworker for MS Ireland, who was also in attendance.
