Our MS specialists nurse team have asked us to contact our members to let you know that they currently receiving a high number of calls relating to the drug Fampridine. They have asked us to update you with the following information and let you know that due to Elizabeth being on sick leave they may take a little longer to get back to you as they manage the patient load.

Following recent national guidance, fampridine may become available for some people with multiple sclerosis who have walking difficulties and meet specific eligibility criteria.

However, this does not mean the medication will be available immediately. Before treatment can be offered, NHS services need to establish the necessary processes for assessing patient suitability, initiating treatment, and monitoring outcomes safely.
In addition, local approval and commissioning arrangements need to be completed. These processes can take several months and may vary between NHS organisations.

NHS trusts will review how a fampridine service could be delivered safely and effectively within our MS service. At present, we are unable to provide a timescale for when treatment may become available locally.

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these arrangements are being put in place. You may wish to discuss this in the first instance with your Neurologist or GP.
