MasterClass project by Dr Neil Archibald, Consultant Neurologist

Modelled on the successful Parkinson’s Advanced Symptoms Unit, the Rapid Access Multiple Sclerosis Unit (RAMSU) will provide a rapid-access, community-based multidisciplinary team targeted at those patients with greatest risk of admission - newly diagnosed patients, those with active disease and those with spasticity or incontinence. The focus will be on delivering timely interventions to ensure a reduction in hospital admissions and, wherever possible, facilitate early discharge from hospital.
