UK MS Register
Non-profit Organizations
The MS Register is a ground-breaking study designed to increase our understanding of living with MS in the UK.
About us
The UK MS Register which has been jointly developed by researchers at Swansea University College of Medicine and the UK MS Society is designed to provide a more accurate picture of the impact of MS in the UK. This globally unique research tool is the world’s first, for any condition, to combine anonymous and confidential information from patients, with clinical data and routine NHS information. The MS Register could have a profound effect, and transform the delivery of care and services for people with MS. The Register aims to • Revolutionise the focus of MS research, opening new avenues to explore • Get more accessible and targeted clinical trials for people with MS • Get new and highly accurate evidence to present to government • Get more targeted funding and support for people with MS • Support future research into cause and cure The MS Register is open for collaborations and researchers wishing to work with us can find details here https://www.ukmsregister.org/Research/WorkingWithUs

Advancing MS Research: Dr Shelly Coe's Global Collaboration at Oxford Brookes University In the Healthy Aging and Care Network at Oxford Brookes, Dr Shelly Coe, RNutr, FHEA – Senior Lecturer in Nutrition at the Department of Sport, Health Sciences and Social Work – is conducting a collaborative research project on symptom improvement for #MultipleSclerosis sufferers. Her current work builds on an existing multi-author, cross-sectional study published in 2021, which investigated nutrient intake and symptom severity of people with MS. This was the first diet questionnaire to be placed on the UK MS Register, resulting in innovative and greatly impactful findings. This work has involved collaborations with epidemiological experts from University of Melbourne, as well as the Swansea/UK MS Register. With Dr Coe’s two research grants from the MS Society UK and MS Research Australia funder (equating to over £250,000), several other collaborative links for the project have continued to grow, most notably with University of Bristol, Imperial College London, the University of South Carolina, Deakin University, and various universities in Iran. The collaborative and collective expertise shared and built in this area marks a major milestone in Dr Coe’s project, and in the road to improve symptoms for MS sufferers everywhere. You can read more about Dr Coe here, including her other research projects and publications: https://bit.ly/46LWtMN You can also ready more about the Healthy Aging and Care Network here: https://bit.ly/46RuZoQ

Nearly 200 MS researchers attended our biennial conference MS Frontiers, including over 80 early career researchers, to share the latest advancements in MS Research. 🔬 Professor Maria Pia Amato, our plenary speaker said: “One of the most engaging moments of MS Frontiers for me was the awards ceremony for the work presented by early career researchers. I saw myself in their enthusiasm and emotion; they represent the future of research and the hope for patients.” We caught up with six PhD students to hear more about their work. 💻 Read our blog post for more information on MS Frontiers 2024: https://mssoc.uk/4fV22ga #MSFrontiers #MSResearch
