Asian MS: Jeremy Hobart on Smouldering Associated Worsening in MS (LWUK)

Smouldering Associated Worsening (SAW) in Multiple Sclerosis is a term increasingly used in MS clinical discussions. The term SAW is used for patient-reported disease worsening in the absence of clear relapses or new MRI activity showing increased inflammation. As an emerging concept it is important for the MS community to develop its understanding of SAW to inform clinical care.

Asian MS will be joined by Dr. Jeremy Hobart. He is a Consultant Neurologist at Derriford Hospital, and Professor at the Plymouth University Peninsula Schools of Medicine and Dentistry. His clinical sub-specialist interest is the diagnosis and management of people with multiple sclerosis.
