Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurological disorder for which there is currently no cure. Its advanced stages can be difficult to cope with.
The Multiple System Atrophy Trust exists to support people with MSA, their families and carers, and to fund and promote research into finding a cause and cure for the disease.
The Trust believes that, within the framework of the law, the needs and wishes of people with MSA concerning their care and treatment should be supported; it is vital that people with the disease are given the treatments and emotional support they need at every stage in their journey through high quality palliative care.
The Multiple System Atrophy Trust takes a neutral stance on assisted dying. We exist to support people with MSA, their families and carers, irrespective of their views on this complex issue.
