Implementing the 2024 McDonald criteria in the NHS: opportunities and challenges for MS teams
The 2024 McDonald criteria represent a sea-change in MS diagnosis promising earlier and more accurate diagnosis. The new criteria introduce a number of new diagnostic biomarkers that are currently not routinely available in the NHS, but appear to increase the overall rate of MS diagnosis in people with clinically or radiologically isolated syndrome. Are NHS teams ready to implement these changes?
Topics for discussion
- When and how to apply the new criteria?
- How can we get the most out of conventional MRI? Is the NHS ready to implement new MRI techniques like central vein sign
- What is the role of optic nerve evaluation?
- What is the role of CSF evaluation?
- Implications of the new criteria for people newly diagnosed with MS
