Pharmacist

The MS Service has a pharmacist who supports with the MS disease modifying drug (DMD) pathways.

They support with getting the prescriptions for the DMDs written and delivered to where they need to go to ensure you get the medication. This includes overseeing the team in the hospital that links with the pharmacy homecare delivery companies, for the DMDs which use these services.

On behalf of the MS Neurologist, the Pharmacist will also conduct the full annual DMD review (which will take the place of your neurologist drug appointment). They ensure that everything is in place for our team to be able to prescribe the MS DMDs (from a Hospital Trust perspective) and ensure that we are complying with NHS England requirements as a prescribing centre for MS DMDs.

In addition to supporting the service with MS DMDs, the MS Pharmacist also provides advice to the service practitioners when there are complex queries relating to medications used to help manage MS symptoms.

For more information on MS DMDs see DMD section.
