NORTH EASTERN ACPIN HUB ONLINE WEBINAR ON

Using anti-spasticity medication: what they are, how they work and why therapists need to get involved
with Dr Wendy Hendrie

Wendy Hendrie has specialised in the management of multiple sclerosis and complex neurodisability for over thirty five years. She currently works as a clinician at an MS Centre in Norwich. She is also involved in a number of research and advisory projects around the country including the development of NHS England’s Optimum MS Pathway. She has worked with the MS Society and MS Trust and has written booklets on postural management for people with MS.

 

Webinar aims:

  • to gain an understanding of the drugs used to treat spasticity
  • to gain an understanding of when and how these drugs are used
  • to gain an understanding of the characteristics of each drug: their dose, mode and site of action, half-life, interactions and titration
  • to gain an understanding of the potential impact of these drugs on rehabilitation and other therapy interventions
  • to gain an understanding of how to help people manage the dosage of these drugs to optimise their usage
