Education with impact: MS Advanced MasterClass 2025
The Advanced MS MasterClass 2025 brought together specialist clinicians from across the UK to address some of the most complex challenges in MS care. This year’s cohort delivered 19 high-quality service development projects spanning disease-modifying therapies (DMTs), diagnostics, symptom management, care pathways, safety monitoring, extended interval dosing, and patient experience. Their work offers a clear snapshot of current pressures, innovations and opportunities within MS services nationally.
“This year has been one of the best ever for the MS Academy. My highlights were the delegate projects. It has been a hard few years for all health care professionals and it is tempting to feel demoralised and powerless. Listening to the projects always restores my faith in the ability and drive of health care professionals to change healthcare for the better. We saw projects to make MS care safer, more responsive, more rewarding to deliver, and most importantly to restore and enhance the dignity of the people we look after.”
David Paling, honorary strategic director, MS Academy
Collectively, these projects demonstrate tangible improvements in patient safety, service efficiency, multidisciplinary collaboration, and holistic care. They also highlight the vital role of specialist nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, and consultant neurologists in delivering high-quality, person-centred MS care within increasingly stretched NHS services.
"Captivating! Your wealth of experience and 'big practice' thinking is inspiring."
"It has inspired me to go away and try to map our service. I feel our service is very disjointed with little joined-up working, but this has given me hope and thoughts on how to instigate change."
"Brilliant session. A very detailed, comprehensive overview of an approach to end-of-life, palliative care and advanced MS. I enjoyed the focus on all aspects."
"Very motivational speakers. Digging deep down in terms of employment for people with MS."
