MS diagnosis - What's happening now?
It is hard to face the unknown! Having a plan, building a support network and staying positive is a good strategy!

The MS Consumer Advisory Group is a link between patients and the clinical staff at John Hunter Hospital. We bring the patients view to the table.
The MS Advisory Group
Founded in 2018, the MS Advisory Group for Newcastle, the Hunter and the Hunter New England Health area plays a vital role in addressing the challenges faced by the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) clinic, ensuring robust guidance for research projects and proposals. Acting as the principal liaison between consumers and the John Hunter Hospital Neuroimmunology Clinic, we are committed to fostering meaningful consumer engagement.
We believe that patients are at the core of health and medical research development, implementation, and evaluation. Representing over 1,500 patients of the Neuroimmunology Clinic, the MS Advisory Group provides crucial insights that shape research strategies, ensuring they align with patient needs and priorities
