This MS Nurse Workshop was designed to provide nurses who treat Multiple Sclerosis patients with up-to-date information on the latest care options available. It focused on the Multi-Disciplinary approach to MS therapy.

The Workshop used a combination of lectures and interactive working groups to help nurses devise strategies to cope effectively with these aspects.

The workshop was jointly presented with the MS Nurse Network. The Network was formed to develop peer reviewed education materials and to provide workshops on a European level. The Network is supported by Serono Symposia and works closely with the International Organisation of MS Nurses (IOMSN).

• Describe the psychological impacts of chronic care on patients and care givers.
