Results from the MSA Needs Surveys

We hear you!

Last year we launched two surveys aiming to take an in-depth look at the needs of people living with MSA and those around them.

Our research looked at both people living with MSA, and people who previously cared for somebody with MSA, making it the largest ever study of people affected by the condition. It covered the UK and Ireland and could be completed online or as a paper questionnaire. We had 655 respondents in total.

The headline results below indicate the main findings and over the coming months we will be working towards adapting our support to better meet the needs identified. The full technical report will be available on our website.

We understand that some of the facts and figures from the surveys may be sensitive but these reflect the honesty that people have demonstrated in their responses and for which we are incredibly grateful.

If you have any questions about the topics covered here or have any queries about your MSA, please do get in touch with our MSA Nurse Specialists or Social Welfare Specialist. They can all be contacted through our office on 0333 323 4591 or at support@msatrust.org.uk. msa news
