MS Society nurses attend the specialist MS Clinic that is part of the RHH Outpatients Clinics. The MS Clinic operates weekly with consultant neurologists and access to allied health staff.
The MS nurses can assist in scheduling appointments, and can assist you to access other health providers via the clinic if required – such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy for example.
