In order to make the MS Society UK website accessible to everyone, it is very easy to navigate.  It has been designed for everyone, with a simple template.  The links are right on the home page, easy to read and simple to understand.  Links are even broken up on the side by user, so people can view the website whether they are a person with multiple sclerosis, a caregiver, a person looking to fundraise, or a professional.  It also features links to help people who are looking to find local services, find out about multiple sclerosis, get involved with the society, and connect with other people.  The website can even be translated into other languages from the homepage so that people who do not speak English can still navigate and use the website.

The home page of the website also includes several important links including the contact link, the glossary, and the donate button.  These are some of the most often used links on the site.  The glossary includes many different definitions of words or phrases that are commonly used on the website when referring to multiple sclerosis or aspects of the disease.  It can be very helpful to people that are unfamiliar with medical terms or medications.  The “contact us” link provides information on how to get in touch with the MS Society UK, through their many different branches.  They list both their physical addresses as well as telephone numbers.   Finally, the donate button allows people to quickly give money to the society to help with multiple sclerosis funding and research programs.

 

Information on The MS Society UK Website

 

For patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the MS Society UK website can be a very valuable resource.  It has a lot of information that people can use to determine the progression that their disease may take, symptoms that can crop up with their type of multiple sclerosis, and more.  They can also use the site to find local support groups to attend or gentle exercise classes that are geared towards people with chronic diseases.

Caregivers or loved ones can also find the site very useful.  People who have a loved one with multiple sclerosis may feel isolated and overwhelmed with trying to care for someone else.  The MS Society UK site offers ways to connect with other people in the same situation who can give advice, offer their support, and provide assistance if needed.
