Share your experiences of conversations with HCPs 🧑⚕️
MS Awareness Week is quickly approaching so we want to know what this lovely community has to say.
This year, we'll be talking about conversations and MS. We'll be discussing many different topics within this, but for now we'd love to hear a little bit about your experiences with healthcare professionals.
So we'd love to know...
1. Which have been your most challenging conversations with healthcare professionals?
2. What sort of support or advice would be helpful with having these conversations?
Share your experiences in the comments to be a part of our MSAW campaign 👇

The only person I have spoken with in the last 12 months is my MS nurse and that's on a video call. To be honest that was a waste of time !!
My most challenging conversation i had with my Neurologist was the very first one i had when he confirmed my diagnosis. He threw all this information at me and i could not take it all in as i knew very little about MS. It is lucky my daughter and best friend were with me as they managed to take in a lot more than me. My Neurologist is superb and very funny and tried to make it all as easy as possible. I think there should be a follow up appointment soon' after maybe with your nurse as like me i am sure all people will have loads of questions after first diagnosis.
