About the team

MS nurses cover the NHS Highland area, speaking to patients over the phone, through Near Me and also seeing patients in hospital, in clinics and their own homes throughout the area. 

The MS nurses are part of the multi-disciplinary team working with other healthcare professions and social services. They provide support and education to healthcare professionals and are the link to the neurologists and rehabilitation consultants. They also have links with local MS charity branches.
