The UK MS Register would like to share with you a message from Caroline Howlett of the MS Society’s Research Network…

‘You have spoken! Over 8,000 of you completed this year’s My MS My Needs survey. As a Person with MS and lay member of the Research Network working with the survey team, I’d like to extend a big ‘Thank You’ to you all.

Following on from your hard work, the team are now at the steep cliff face of analysing what this dataset tells us; one that’s large enough to find statistically, meaningful differences between bigger groupings such as regions of the country, but to also look into the findings in smaller, but key equality groupings of ethnic minorities and sexual orientation.

As a result, the MS Society will be able to track changes with the previous two studies’ results, likewise to see what issues remain of primary concern to us. Your time spent completing the detailed questionnaire will help make a real difference: Future Society policies will be shaped, as will campaign priorities.’

As the impact of these findings is realised, we at the UK MS Register will keep you updated. Thank you for your participation!
