Show by MS Australia
On the fifth episode of the Raw Nerve, co-host Rohan Greenland is joined by MS Australia President, Associate Professor Des Graham to explore a new report commissioned by MS Australia and undertaken by the Menzies Institute for Medical Research at the University of Tasmania, which has found the number of Australians living with multiple sclerosis (MS) is increasing at a significant and accelerating rate. To help unpack the findings, report authors Principal Research Fellow at the Menzies Institute for Medical Research and Clinical Neurologist at the Royal Hobart Hospital, Professor Bruce Taylor and Head of the Health Economics Research Unit at Menzies and lead author of the report, Professor Andrew Palmer sit down with Rohan and Des to discuss the findings in detail, to examine the many lifestyle and behavioural risk factors that may contribute to a person developing MS, and to discuss the economic impact MS has on Australian society. Just as important as exploring the why, Des and Rohan discuss what the Government must now do in response to this concerning new data.
