A psychology student at the University of Galway is looking for young adults with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) to take part in a research study about living with a chronic illness. The study will explore how MS affects relationships, self-identity, and future goals.
Áine Gorman, a 3rd-year PhD student in Health Economics at University College Cork, is inviting public and patient (PPIE) contributors to take part in an important research project. The study aims to explore individuals' preferences for community-based healthcare services for those living with neuro-physical disabilities. Your input will help shape a survey that reflects what matters most to patients and their families.
The AIMS Research Network will provide talented undergraduate students with the opportunity to acquire experience in multiple sclerosis (MS) research during the summer of 2024. The aim of the award is to encourage promising undergraduates to consider a research career focused on MS and make discoveries that can ultimately halt disease.

Liam Morrissey Msc. Ergonomics student at the University of Derby is conducting a study exploring the impact and usability of using exergames for exercise in MS patients.
University College Limerick are conducting a study with the aim of gaining consensus on a core outcome set for evaluating mixed diagnosis falls prevention interventions for people with Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Stroke (information sheet below). Participation would include the completion of a maximum of three survey rounds (which take approximately 15 minutes) and optional attendance at an online meeting where the final core outcome set will be agreed. If you are interested in taking part please email Nicola.OMalley@ul.ie
MS Ireland provides a range of services for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their families. One important aspect of these services is the support provided by a series of regional community workers who are available to meet with and/or offer advice to people with MS (PwMS) on a one-to-one basis. This support is often termed “casework”.
Because the nature of supports offered by community workers varies so greatly, it can be a challenge to evaluate the effectiveness of casework. In other words, it can be difficult to establish if and how community workers effectively meet the needs of PwMS.
In our project, conduced by a research team in the Department of Psychology at Maynooth University and supported by a grant from the Irish Research Council, we wished to explore this issue. Specifically, we wanted to explore ways in which casework at MS Ireland may be better evaluated.
