About this event
Asian MS is a national support group working under the umbrella of MS Society UK. It provides culturally sensitive support, information and services to people of South Asian heritage in the UK who are affected by MS. In this session, join members of the Asian MS Coordinating Team to explore the experiences of people of South Asian heritage who are affected by MS. This forum will help you to better understand some of the difficulties faced by this community, including diagnosis, treatment and care decisions, stigma and cultural challenges. We will also explore the services offered by Asian MS and opportunities for engagement with MS professionals to better support patients and caregivers of South Asian heritage. The session will be run by Trishna Bharadia, Nin Sambhi and Ila Gangotra from the Asian MS Coordinating Team and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion.
