The ECTRIMS Neuro Network is a series of MS-focused webinars designed to facilitate connectivity and enable the professional MS community to elevate topics of interest, navigate discussions around clinical research & practice, and drive the exposure and development of ideas and innovation. Our aim is to help build a community where participants are given their “own space” to share and present new research, insights and ideas.
Virtual events hosted by ECTRIMS to take place between 12-30 May 2022.
Nursing and allied health (AH) professionals are vital to the treatment, care and support of people living with multiple sclerosis. Amid a rapidly changing backdrop of MS research and technological advances, staying up to date on the latest tools and strategies to assist MS patients is paramount to their wellbeing.
This live webinar series aims (i) to bring together nursing and AH professionals to discuss the latest advancements and developments impacting their daily work with MS patients, and (ii) to provide an open forum for them across Europe and North America to assist in sharing insight and experience. This webinar series will be divided into three 45-60 minute webinars. During each webinar, a presentation will be delivered by the speaker, followed by a Q&A session with participants and the moderator.
This is a free event. Registration is required.
