Collaborate with SWIMS

The SWIMS project (South West Impact of Multiple Sclerosis) is a longitudinal study that has followed people with MS since 2004 and has included over 1800 people. The SWIMS community is a fabulously engaged research cohort that have worked with us to help develop different PRO measures and investigate other impacts and opportunities in MS care. If you are interest in being part of SWIMS or collaborating in a project working with the SWIMS data or research community please visit our webpage below.
 

Patient Reported Outcomes

Information on licensing Patient Reported Outcomes created by Professor Hobart and colleagues (such as the MSIS-29, MSWS-12 and MSSS-88) is available on the our Community Interest Company, Transform MS's website. Transform MS now manages these PROs and commercial projects for the group, re-investing income to support improved outcomes for people with MS.
