Bristol MS Research Unit:
The Bristol MS Research Unit is DEDICATED to Research to find better treatment for MS. We called the site MSFirst. This is partly because we are the first dedicated MS Research unit in the West Country (and possibly in the UK) and because we put MS first in our efforts towards improving life for those who live with MS. We are seeking to alleviate MS symptoms and contributing to its cure.
The Bristol MS Research Unit has been serving the MS community in Bristol for many years.
Our expertise and links with local universities and other local, national, and international MS organisations enable us to maintain leading edge research programmes. The work of the Research Unit is internationally acknowledged. We will work with other organisations, to promote rapid dissemination of new research findings, and to hasten the implementation of new treatments
We will also assist in the training and education for professionals with an interest in MS. Contact us.
