The MS Society is running a campaign to increase funding for neurology services (not just MS) in the UK and are holding a meeting with MPs.

I attach the open letter and it directs you to your MP.

You can add your comments about lack of ANY neurologists for RLS/ lack of teaching of RLS and it will automatically be added to the letter to your MP.

Signed though I am not an individual with Ms but do have other neurological injury/damage issues, but also sign for those I do know who have MS.

Thanks M. It's not just for MS - It's asking for more neurologists for the 1 in 6 people in the UK with a neurological condition. The head of education at the ABB confirmed recently that there is a chronic shortage of neurologists in the UK.We don't actually need specialist neurologists for RLS as most GPs are more than capable of treating RLS effectively if they are taught the basics ( which we know doesn't happen at present) but it always helps RLS if more neurologists take an interest in our disease.

Thanks😊
