The Dorset MS Service is based at Poole Hospital and consists of specialist nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacist, and administration staff. It provides a service for people with MS who are under a registered Dorset GP.
The service is managed by the Lead MS Specialist Practitioner and links closely with the MS Specialist Neurologists for Dorset.
The team provides advice, information, and support for people with Multiple Sclerosis and their families/carers, from diagnosis onwards. They offer practical help with managing symptoms and day-to-day living with MS, as well as providing advice and support with disease modifying drug (DMD) treatments for MS.
Referrals are accepted from GPs, neurologists, and other health care professionals for people with a confirmed diagnosis of MS.
The MS Service works in partnership with the Community Neurology Service in South and East Dorset, Bournemouth, and Poole.
