MSNZ is delighted with the announcement from the New Zealand MS Research Trust that they have received funding of NZ$150,000 a year for three years to support neurologists who wish to travel overseas to specialise in the treatment of people with multiple sclerosis.
This may take in the form of a fellowship for a registrar taking up a training post overseas, either in isolation, or in combination with another fellowship to support research work. Support for more limited projects for training or research in MS will also be considered, as will a fellowship for a non-clinical scientist undertaking MS research.
Over time this will increase the number of specialist MS Neurologists and MS nurses working in New Zealand which has been a key focus on MSNZ’s advocacy efforts for the past five years.
