Show Notes

Welcome to Let’s Talk MS, proudly presented by the European Multiple Sclerosis Platform (EMSP). In this episode, we discuss the stigma and discrimination faced by people with multiple sclerosis and related conditions, as well as the misjudgement of symptoms when they are both visible and invisible. Alongside hosts Elisabeth Kasilingam and Anna Revilla, we are excited to introduce our guests: Elizabeth Cunningham, a health communications consultant and Senior Communications Manager at the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA). Emma Rogan, a brain health campaigner who has worked at EMSP for over a decade. She has spent her career addressing employment issues, job retention and returning to work for people diagnosed with MS and/or living with a disability.
