Modeling the Multiple Sclerosis Specialist Nurse Workforce by Determination of Optimum Caseloads in the United Kingdom.

Background: It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 people in the United Kingdom who have multiple sclerosis (MS). Patient experience and outcome are improved by access to a specialist nursing service. The aim of this study was to perform demand modeling to understand the need for MS nursing interventions, and thus inform modeling of the future UK MS nursing workforce.
