Professor Gavin Giovannoni is back with MS Reporter Dominic to chat through the changing world of MS care during the pandemic ๐๐ฆ With Gavin and many other colleagues now on the frontline treating #COVID19 patients, we hear how people with MS can play a larger role in monitoring and managing their own health at this time.
Dom asks about the logistics of both redeployed medics now working in general medicine, and the skeleton secondary care teams still supporting MS patients, and what this means for MSers ๐๏ธโ We find out the challenges of generic information and how MSers can get the answers specific to them. Also: Prof G looks to the future of COVID-19 testing and its vital importance as a strategy in tackling the pandemic.
