Healthcare systems play a fundamental role in determining how people living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) access diagnosis, treatment and long-term specialist care. While scientific advances continue to expand therapeutic options, differences in healthcare organisation, reimbursement policies, drug availability and clinical pathways create substantial variation in patient care across countries.

In this expert panel discussion, Thomas Berger will moderate a conversation with leading European neurologists and Paradigms members to explore how healthcare systems influence the delivery of optimal MS care. Through country-specific perspectives and interactive discussion, the panel examines practical challenges, identifies successful approaches, and considers how healthcare systems can evolve to improve access to high-quality care while making efficient use of available resources.

Learning Objectives

Following this webinar, participants should be better able to:

• Recognize how differences in healthcare systems, national guidelines and reimbursement policies can influence MS treatment choices and access to care.
• Discuss the importance of balancing treatment costs with the broader clinical and societal burden of MS when considering healthcare resource allocation.
• Explore the role of neurologists, multidisciplinary teams, registries and real-world data in supporting evidence-based and integrated MS care.
• Identify key considerations for sustainable access to high-quality MS treatments, including treatment availability, quality and continuity of supply.
• Consider opportunities to strengthen patient involvement in treatment decisions, care delivery and data generation.

Who should attend?

This webinar is intended for:

• Clinically active neurologists
• Multiple Sclerosis specialists
• Neurology residents and trainees
• MS nurses and other healthcare professionals involved in multidisciplinary MS care
