We are still recruiting paid and unpaid carers!

Understanding the social care needs of people who live with multiple sclerosis
We know that loved ones who provide informal care are often overlooked and would like to hear about your experiences!
We are looking for people who care for or are supporting someone living with MS to share their stories. This will help us develop a new treatment for reducing fatigue.
We want to explore social care needs from the perspective of those livng with MS, as well as their formal and informal carers, family, or social circle.
​
We hope to conduct focus groups with those who wish to take part. Focus groups can take up to 2 hours and are likely to be held via MS Teams or Zoom to ensure inclusivity. If you want to take part but are not able to join a focus group, we can also offer the option of a 1:1 interview. This is likely to be around 1 hour.
What is a focus group?
A focus group involves an organised discussion with a small group of individuals to gain their views and experiences on a specific issue.
​
We hope that 6-10 people will take part in each focus group.
​
The findings from the focus groups will be used to develop the digital intervention REFUEL-MS
