Confirmed speakers
Noreen Barker, Consultant Nurse at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, which is a large neuroscience centre caring for around 5000 people with MS. She has been an MS clinical nurse specialist since 2008 working in both community and acute roles, her background is in urology and continence care. She has been a member of two National Institute for Health and Care Excellence clinical guideline development groups (MS, 2014 and Incontinence in Neurological Disease, 2012).
The topic of Noreen's talk will be the utilization of multiple sources of digital information for nurses today within neuroscience to support their clinical practice, and care for people with Multiple Sclerosis. This has transformed care for people with MS (PwMS), and the way in which neurosciences nurses can care for them.
Annick Van Merhaegen-Wieleman, a Multiple Sclerosis Nurse Specialist, has been active in the MS field since 2010. She is associated with the University Hospital of Brussels (a medium-sized center in Belgium specializing in MS care) and has a particular interest in family planning for pwMS and the use of digital apps in chronic conditions.
The topic of Annick's talk will be the use of digital technology for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in practice. As a nurse, digital tools have become indispensable in the field: the exchange of medical information, patient education, or assessments can be facilitated through digitization. There are also numerous eHealth applications available for individuals with MS; which ones are the most practical, and are they effectively utilized?
