In 2017 MSNZ officially endorsed 'Brain Health: time matters in MS' , an international consensus report presents consensus recommendations on diagnosis, therapeutic strategies and improving access to treatment in MS. Since then we have used the principles to direct and provide international support for our advocacy work into improving the access to treatments and services for people with MS in New Zealand.
MS Brain Health is currently consulting with supporting organisations, including MSNZ, to understand barriers to achieving optimal outcomes for people with MS across the globe.
We ask that you take this short survey to help us provide an consensus response from New Zealand. We have been provided with a short deadline for this survey and ask for your support in achieving this. Please complete this survey by Wednesday 4th July.
We are looking for responses and appreciate your feedback. The information provided will also help guide MSNZs Advocacy Programme.
About MS Brain Health: time matters
MS Brain Health is an international group of MS experts calling for a radical change in the management of multiple sclerosis because time matters at every stage of the disease.
Brain Health: Time matters in multiple sclerosis presents consensus recommendations on diagnosis, therapeutic strategies and improving access to treatment in MS. Its core recommendation is that the goal of treating MS should be to preserve tissue in the central nervous system and maximize lifelong brain health by reducing disease activity. The report calls for major policy changes aimed at achieving the best possible outcomes for people with MS and those who care for them.
