Putting NICE into practice

The MS Society produced an audit tool in 2004, updated in 2007, cross referenced with the NSF for Long-term conditions.

The original 2004 toolkit contains guidance on physiotherapy, speaker notes and guidance for commissioners. This was welcomed by The Association of British Neurologists and The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy.

Translating the NICE and NSF guidance into practice

This new second edition of the MS Society guide for physiotherapists has been updated to cross-reference both the NICE guideline and the National Service Framework (NSF). It provides essential guidance for all physiotherapists in the care and management of people with MS. It aims to demystify the topic by extracting the most pertinent elements of the NICE guideline and the NSF for busy clinicians. It poses clinical questions for physiotherapists and assistants to consider when faced with the complexities a person with MS may have to deal with. We hope it will enable every physiotherapy practitioner to engage with the NICE guideline and the NSF and to translate them into practice with enthusiasm! It should also help in making business cases for improved services – through the wider availability of specialist neuro-rehabilitation teams that are of high quality and are available when needed.
