Farewell Anne and Vicki! Welcome to the team Dominika and Piet!

 

After being at the helm of MS Nurse PRO since the very beginning, we are sad to say that Anne Winslow, Chair Person of our Steering Committee for the past 10 years, decided to step down from the role at the end of last year. We would like to take this opportunity to thank Anne for all of her efforts and tireless work in driving MS Nurse PRO forwards to where it is today. We are happy to announce that the reins have been taken up by Dominika Czarnota. Dominika is the Secretary-General of the Polish Multiple Sclerosis Society and also a member of the EMSP Executive Committee.

Vicki Matthews, Chair of our Syllabus Committee, has also decided to step down from the role to enjoy her retirement – but we are pleased to say that we will not lose her completely and that she will remain with us as an honorary member of the committee. We are delighted that Piet Eelen has agreed to join us as the Chair of the Syllabus Committee. Piet is a Clinical Nurse Specialist in MS and President of the Belgian Association of MS Nurses and brings with him a wealth of experience, knowledge, and new ideas.
