Education with impact: MS Foundation MasterClass 2025
The MS Foundation MasterClass continues to provide a unique platform for health professionals across the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland to deepen their understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS), enhance their clinical practice, and develop practical improvement projects that directly impact patient care.
Now in its 12th year, the Foundation MasterClass offers structured, interactive education designed to build confidence, competence, and collaboration among those delivering front-line MS services. The 2025 cohort once again demonstrated the energy and innovation that underpin the Neurology Academy’s mission to drive education that leads to measurable change.
"This year the 2025 MS Academy Foundation MasterClass delegates delivered a range of impactful projects that will provide a springboard for driving forward service improvement and transformation, to improve the care we provide people with MS"
Dr Wallace Brownlee, honorary academic director, MS Academy
Each delegate — some working jointly — undertook an improvement project rooted in their local service, addressing real-world challenges across the MS pathway, from diagnosis and disease-modifying therapy (DMT) management to rehabilitation, cognitive care, and service redesign. Collectively, these projects form a powerful reflection of how individual learning translates into personal development, organisational improvement, and national insight.
This report brings together 22 projects that demonstrate how clinicians — nurses, doctors, therapists, and pharmacists — are driving better outcomes for people with MS through face-to-face education, peer support, clinical leadership, original research, and innovative service development.
