This webinar will discuss the impact of cognitive dysfunction in MS and associated symptoms, including memory loss, difficulty concentrating, and impaired executive function. These symptoms can lead to problems with planning, organising and decision-making.

Other areas include medications specific to MS, exercise, fatigue management and ensuring adequate sleep are also crucial.
