Using evidence to support informed decision making in MS : Supporting the holistic needs of the person with MS.

Moving from science television production to health, Claire has always focused on creating high quality, relevant and trusted information. Communicating complex ideas in an accessible way makes all the difference to people facing difficult treatment choices and wanting to advocate for themselves. At the MS Trust, we support informed, shared decision making between people with MS and their health teams, and believe that there should be equity of access to all appropriate treatments for MS.
