Newly Diagnosed Information Group

Being diagnosed with MS can feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to take in, a lot of questions, and it can be hard to know where to start. The Newly Diagnosed Group is here to help you find your footing at your own pace and in a space where you’re truly understood.

Led by our MS Specialist Nurses, Julie Dock and Arianne Hughes, this drop-in group brings together people who are new to an MS diagnosis, along with their families and carers, to share information, ask questions, and connect with others who get it.

What to Expect

Every session is relaxed and open, covering the topics that matter most when you’re starting out with MS:

Understanding MS: what your diagnosis means, how MS works, and what to expect
Treatments: an honest conversation about the options available and how to navigate them
Living with MS: practical and emotional support for the physical, social, and financial side of life with MS
Support systems: connecting you with the services, people, and resources that can help

You’re welcome to come to one session or all of them. There’s no commitment required.

Meet the nurses leading the group

Julie Dock & Arianne Hughes are both MS Specialist Nurses at Revive MS Support, with years of experience supporting people and families through every stage of life with MS. They bring expertise, and a genuine understanding of what a new diagnosis can feel like.

Who is the group for?

This group is for anyone who has recently been diagnosed with MS, for the people who love and support them and for anyone wanting to learn more about MS.

Families and carers are always welcome.
