for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen Square.
Multiple Sclerosis Relapse Assessment Clinic
The patient is seen by the multiple sclerosis (MS) nurse specialist for a preliminary
assessment and screening. A medical review and joint team decision on treatment is
then reached with referral to the Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) if required.
If steroids are agreed the patient is taken to the relapse suite for the first infusion
and subsequent infusions on the next two days.
The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery Relapse Service also
incorporates an educational package for patients and staff, and includes a resource
pack for staff containing such tools as MSRS and MSIS-29 scales, integrated care
pathways, emergency contact details and out of hours advice, assessment algorithms
and corporate documentation and policy.
