Dionne, the clinic lead for Cortex Physiotherapy is one of our guest speakers and will be answering questions on our panel on the night.

If you are newly diagnosed (under 2 years) or pre-diagnoised come along to get a clearer sense of MS and ask those questions. Nothing scary, just reassurance from people who have been there 🧡

We wanted to share this great event coming up with MS Society Scotland.

It’s a really relaxed, no-pressure session for anyone who’s been newly diagnosed with MS (or waiting on confirmation), or for those supporting someone who has. It’s all about real conversations, practical advice, and helping you make sense of what comes next, at your own pace.

We’re also really proud to say that Dionne, our Clinical Lead, has been asked to be part of the panel for the event. It’s a privilege to be involved and to work alongside such an incredible charity doing amazing things for the MS community.

📅 Monday 1st June
📍 Riverside Hotel, Irvine
⏰ Arrive from 4:30pm (food & refreshments) | Starts 5:15pm

If this sounds like something that could help you or someone close to you, it’s definitely worth coming along.

We’re really looking forward to it and hope to see some of you there 💙

Are you newly diagnosed with MS or waiting for a diagnosis? Are you a family member or friend of someone recently diagnosed? It can feel overwhelming. There's a lot of information, a lot of emotion, and often a sense that you're expected to "just get on with it".

MS Society Ayrshire & Arran in partnership with MS Society Scotland are hosting an in-person event to help you understand what comes next and where to find support that works for you. A space for questions, reflection and informal conversation. No prior knowledge needed. Time to chat, listen or simply sit quietly if you prefer.

If you would like more information and would like to book a place for free please follow this link:

MS Awareness Week is back from 20–26 April 2026. And your voice matters.

This year, we want to challenge the harmful assumptions people with MS face every day. And we need to hear your experiences to help shape the campaign, through our short 5-10 minute survey.

Seven of the UK’s leading MS charities are coming together for this campaign. But we need to hear from more people across Scotland.

Help us understand what it's like to live with MS in Scotland: https://buff.ly/0YcYckQ
