Tasks include training, quality assuring cases, and supporting and in some cases supervising the service managers and/or team leads in the continued development of their teams. It also includes being a key member of local forums and working with other members of the Drive Central team, local commissioners and local Drive partners, who are often Police Staff, local authorities and local voluntary sector provider, to think about the long-term development and sustainability of the projects.

Practice Advisors, alongside the different delivery strands managers, the deputy director and other members of the Drive Central Team look at ways to take these themes forward, continuously developing the models to ensure what is being delivered is best practice and compliments other strands of work such as national policy and systems change.

In recent years, there has been ever increasing interest in lifestyle and MS, and the body of research is systematically increasing. Overcoming MS therefore has a need for someone to regularly review the most recent research, update our Program recommendations, and ensure we communicate the latest updates with our community – working alongside our Medical Advisor. In the medium to longer term, we would like to identity research gaps and have a role in influencing, or even commissioning, lifestyle research to add to the current research base.

- To create a research strategy, to maximise Overcoming MS’s credibility and reputation within MS lifestyle research.
- To support the communication of new studies published in reputable journals, enabling Overcoming MS to quickly understand the relevance to our community and the Program, formulating an action plan and supporting a public response where relevant.
- To support Overcoming MS’s public profile, giving credibility and expertise in the research behind the Program, including presenting at conferences, submitting articles and posters for publication, etc.
- To support the collation of impact evidence to demonstrate the value of Overcoming MS to individuals and as part of funding applications.
- To create a network of external research advisors, possibly creating a Research Advisory Group, to ensure oversight of upcoming research as well as diversity of opinion on research outcomes and their impact.
- To identify potential partners to collaborate with on research projects that corroborate the existing Program, fill research gaps, or build additional independent evidence around healthy lifestyle and MS.
- To manage the research section of the website.
- Longer term, to create a position for Overcoming MS in identifying research gaps, influencing new research, the role of the Overcoming MS community in research projects, and (subject to funding) commissioning research.
