Sometimes, knowing what to say and how to raise concerns with your healthcare practitioner can be difficult. The MS Specialist Nurse team from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust will discuss ways that you can prepare for an appointment with your local healthcare professional.
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.
How do I join the webinar?
Before the event we will send you an email which will have a link to the webinar which is held via Zoom. The email will also tell you how to ask questions and make comments during the webinar. At the time the webinar is due to start, click on the link and you will be taken to the webinar. If the session hasn’t started you will see a message to tell you this. Just hang on and when the session starts you will see 2 or 3 people pop up on your screen.
What if I haven’t been sent the link?
We send an email with a link to everyone who completes the registration form on Eventbrite and books a place. The email we send might go into your spam or junk folder so please check before the meeting starts that you can find it.
Can I be seen or heard?
When I join the webinar can other people see or hear me? No, you can’t be seen or heard by other participants.
Can I ask questions?
Yes, you can ask questions and make comments. The facilitator will tell participants how to do this.
Please note we can’t respond or offer advice to questions about your specific circumstances or anything relating to your own personal health. Questions will be collated and we will try to cover your queries if not your specific question.
What should I do if I can no longer attend?
If you are unable to attend the event but would still like advice and support then please email sheila.greenwood@mssociety.org.uk .
