DESCRIPTION
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma
This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course pivots around Multiple
Sclerosis, often called MS in short, an enfeebling condition characterised by
possible symptoms ranging from movement anomalies, especially in the limbs, to
an absence of balance and sensation. MS primarily impacts the spinal cord or
brain and both in certain circumstances. MS is a chronic condition with no
ultimate cure. Patients with MS may have moderate to severe disabilities, and
their life expectancy may be lowered. However, it may be relieving to know that
MS is not fatal. Many treatment options aim toward managing symptoms, enabling
patients to lead a healthy and everyday life. The UK has recorded over 100,000
individuals diagnosed with the condition. Although there is no definite age for
a person to be diagnosed with MS, the trends point toward individuals between
the 20s to 30s. Moreover, there is a threefold increase in the likelihood of
women getting diagnosed than men.
This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course aims to acquaint you with a
deep understanding of MS and teach ways to extend your support to an individual
or loved one who has fallen prey to the condition. People who are suspected of
having MS should first consult their GP to rule out the possibility of other
states. After running the required tests, the GP may redirect the candidate to a
professional who specialises in the nervous system, called a neurologist. The
neurologist may next do an MRI scan, and other procedures to rule out MS. 8 out
of 10 people have relapse-remitting MS, which is characterised by new and
worsening symptoms, often referred to as relapses. These symptoms usually worsen
over a while, lasting weeks or, in severe cases, even months.
In the unfortunate case of an individual undergoing relapse-remitting MS over
several years or decades, they may experience secondary progressive MS (SPMS).
SPMS is characterised by deteriorating symptoms but without evident attacks.
Nevertheless, specific individuals may be bombarded with irregularly occurring
relapses. 5 in 10 people ill with relapse-remitting MS develop SPMS. Moreover,
the longer an individual has this condition, the higher the risk.
At the outset, this Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course sheds light on
the definition of Multiple Sclerosis, enumerates its types, states its
prevalence and elucidates its diagnoses. The course goes on to delve deep into
the process of diagnosing MS, the accessible treatments, resources and support.
It provides an insight into the responsibilities of specialists who treat
patients with MS. In the concluding chapters, you will be acquainted with the
typical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, their effects on people, and ways to
manage them. Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 100,000 individuals in the
United Kingdom alone. This course is apt for individuals serving in the health
care industry, especially those who have just started to care for patients with
MS. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course will decipher the
intricacies of MS, elucidating its causes and consequences, plus ways to
identify symptoms and tips for management of those symptoms. This Multiple
Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course is outlined to instil confidence in those
wanting to extend emotional and physical support to an individual or loved one
who has fallen victim to this enfeebling condition.
