Abstract
Nurses play a critical role in caring for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The Multiple Sclerosis-Nurse Empowering Education (MS-NEED): European Survey was conducted to understand the role of nurses in MS and the provision of care across Europe. The survey focused on four key areas: clinical practice, advocacy, research and publication, and training and education. A total of 280 nurses were included from the UK, Germany, Italy, Poland, Finland and the Czech Republic. All participants were nurses actively working with MS patients. The role of the nurse in MS is diverse and varies substantially across Europe, leading to inequalities in patient care. A European consensus to define the roles and responsibilities of the MS nurse would facilitate consistency of care across all countries and help to achieve the best possible outcome for patients with MS in Europe.
