Newly Diagnosed Day Tickets, Friday 12 June Eventbrite
The SHIELD study explores which infections occur in people with MS and how these compare with their household members/close contacts without MS. It involves a once-weekly diary of infection symptoms for 12 months, and a nasal swab if a flu-like illness occurs. Participation is entirely online, and no hospital visits are required. The study may reveal which types of infections are commonly associated with MS and/or DMTs, and may expand vaccine eligibility for people with MS to keep them well. https://redcap.link/shieldstudy_arm1
Please ask your family or friends to complete a separate Eventbrite registration form if they wish to attend as well.
Looking forward to seeing you there.
The Wales Mobility and Driving Service (WMDAS) want to invite you to visit our open day-TBC.
