Join the COB-MS Advisory Board

Do you have Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or do you care for someone who has MS? Can you help make a difference for yourself and others who have MS? We want you to join our Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) Advisory Board and help shape a clinical trial on the impact of MS on people’s cognition.

What is the COB-MS Trial?

Dr Sinéad Hynes, an occupational therapist and senior lecturer at the University of Galway (https://www.sineadhynes.com/), and her team are inviting you to join the PPI Advisory Board of A Cognitive Occupation-Based programme for people with Multiple Sclerosis (COB-MS).

COB-MS is a clinical trial of an occupational therapy intervention designed to improve daily functioning for people who experience cognitive challenges due to multiple sclerosis. Cognition refers to the mental processes in the brain, including thinking, attention, language, learning, memory and perception.
