MS Trust's annual meeting goes international!
NewsThe MS Trust's annual conference is always a must for any healthcare professionals with an interest in multiple sclerosis (MS) and this year, they are opening it up to international delegates.
The conference, set to run from 28th February through to 2nd March, will utilise a bespoke online platform, enabling virtual attendance from anywhere in the world. All of the sessions, from plenaries to workshops, will be available on-demand allowing delegates to 'attend' at a time that best suits them, whilst all conference sessions and posters will be accessible for three months after the event, for re-watching, or returning to missed sessions.
Where the time-difference is less of a barrier, attendance in real-time will offer an opportunity to network via the virtual cafe with speakers and attendees alike, or to visit the exhibition hall and talk with sponsors and peers at the various exhibitions.
With expert speakers such as professors of neurology Gavin Giovannoni and Alasdair Coles, specialists in physiotherapy and rehabilitation like Prof Jenny Freeman and Dr Wendy Hendrie, and expert patients sharing their lived experience of MS, the broad range of topics promise to be enlightening, inspiring and relevant for any professional within the MS global community.
