Recommendations Document on the Web!

The final document will be on the web from the middle of June.

The document will be used by the MS Society to apply for funding. It can also be used by people with MS to learn more about rehabilitation and talk to their health care providers or GPs about if rehabilitation is suitable for them. Simply go to:

www.ms.asn.au under ‘Services’ and then ‘Projects’

What's Next:

We will be presenting our findings to two different groups of health professionals to increase awareness of the issue and also to tell them about the project recommendations.

The first presentation will be made at the Day Rehabilitation Centre at Hampstead.

The second presentation will be made to the Statewide Rehabilitation Clinical Network’s workgroup for Complex and Progressive Neurological conditions. The purpose of the workgroup is to inform the government about the rehabilitation needs of people with progressive neurological conditions, like MS, and develop a new model of rehabilitation in the future. The evidence and recommendations that we have developed in collaboration with you will help the group to arrive at a model that meets the needs of people with MS.
