Introduction

EXCEMED Blended Education

This is a pre-ECTRIMS activity

Overview

The landscape of multiple sclerosis is rapidly evolving due to the increasing complexity of the disease, diverse treatment options and changing patient expectations. To deliver the best care experience, there is a need to promote collaborative practice involving healthcare workers from different professional backgrounds. Nurses are instrumental in bridging the patient’s needs with the expertise of the healthcare team.

The 20th edition of the MS Nurse International Workshop is an EXCEMED Learning Journey which will explore contemporary MS through the viewpoints of three main stakeholders: neurologists, nurses and patients. This blended learning experience will meld online and face-to-face activities aimed at promoting inter professional communication through case-based discussion and interactive sessions. The Journey will stimulate reasoning on how to “build the future of MS management” and develop strategic treatment plans which take key MS issues into consideration.

Learning objectives

• Fully grasp the current role and competencies of MS nurses
• Develop updated strategic treatment plans for managing MS
• Analyse challenges posed to nurses by complex MS patients
