A to Z of MS StayingSmart

StayingSmart is a website designed for people who want to know, or know more, about how multiple sclerosis can affect thinking.

Cognition is the general word that covers all aspects of thinking and includes memory, concentration and planning.

The aims of StayingSmart are to:

• support learning about cognition in MS
• build confidence in managing cognition in MS
• encourages sharing of knowledge about and experience of cognition in MS.

The versatility of the resource means that it can be used by people with MS, their families, and health professionals independently, or by people with MS in partnership with their health professionals. The site includes tips for coping with day to day problems sent in by people with MS and a number of video clips of people discussing their symptoms.

The resource was developed by the MS Trust in partnership with Dr Dawn Langdon Neuropsychologist, Royal Holloway University of London.
