Professor Finlay is considered a pioneer of palliative medicine in the UK which makes her appointment as President of Multiple Sclerosis Society Wales/Cymru particularly relevant in view of the Society's priority of addressing the needs of people most severely affected by MS. She also has personal experiences of MS within her own family.
