Living with MS in Bolton was an enjoyable and informative information day for people with MS and their carers held in the Ramada Jarvis Hotel in Bolton. Over 100 people attended the day and learned about living with MS and also had the opportunity to share information and experiences with other people affected by MS.

The day included sessions on:

• Fatigue management in MS (Adrienne Cox, Debbie Richardson and Shirley Mitchell)
  
• Carers caring for themselves (Jim Chong) 
  
• Cognitive issues for people affected by MS (Dr Anita Rose)
  
• Direct Payments – could it work for you? (Gavin and Karen Croft)
