Overview
IntroductionMultiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition requiring multidisciplinary input to optimise patient outcomes. NICE recommends everyone with MS have regular reviews with an MSSN.1,2 The MS Society estimates a prevalence of 490 people with MS in West Essex served by a 0.8 WTE MS nurse, against the recommended caseload of 358 per whole time MS nurse.3 MethodsIn collaboration with the MS Trust GEMSS team, a survey was sent out to collect data on the quality of MS care. 265 patients where surveyed with 114 (43%) responses.ResultsOf the 114 responders, 68.1% reported significant disability. 58% of patients had seen an MSSN in the last year compared to the GEMSS team average of 78%.167% saw a neurologist, but 14% had not seen any healthcare professional about their MS. Patients who had not seen a MSSN in the last year reported significant MS-related morbidity.Discussion42% of patients had not seen an MSSN in the last year and reported significant MS-related morbidity including isolation, lack of confidence and medication anxiety. Additional MSSN input is needed to support these patients.ReferencesFindings from the MS trust GEMSS MS specialist nurse evaluation project. Letchworth: MS Trust 2015.
