Project Name: King’s MS Capacity Redesign
Project Summary:
The Project aims to redesign and expand the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) service with the addition of a MS Specialist Nurse and a MS pharmacy technician to support with the management, review, and follow-ups of MS patients. This will address the capacity issues being experienced by Kings, help to tackle the backlog of patients and address the risk of delays in starting and switching treatments. Furthermore, it will also support the welfare of the staff as the current patient numbers passing through the service are only possible due to the goodwill of the team who are consistently working extra shifts and this is not sustainable. The addition of these two roles will allow the clinical work to be more evenly distributed throughout the team, thus allowing increased time for other activities, such as, presence on the ward, educational activities and general patient care.
