Have you recently been told you have MS? Or maybe you know someone who has? We know you might have lots of questions, but we want you to know you’re not alone.

This World MS Day, MS Society UK and MS Together have partnered up to host an informative webinar on all things diagnosis.

The new theme for World MS Day 2024-2025 is Diagnosis. The name of the campaign will be My MS Diagnosis and the tagline: Navigating MS together.

So, in this webinar, we’ll hear from:

• A panel of people living with MS to talk about their MS diagnosis
• A healthcare professional who will talk about the diagnosis process and what to expect
• Representatives from both charities will talk about how they can support people diagnosed with and affected by MS

The overall idea of this webinar is to raise awareness and build solidarity by sharing experiences of an MS diagnosis, and to highlight the different information and support available.

What will I need to take part?

All you need to join in is a laptop/tablet/phone/computer with a stable internet connection to use Zoom, the video meeting software that we use.
