We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We expect to raise £1.8m this year and are ambitious to at least triple again.

The role

Overcoming MS is the world’s leading healthy lifestyle organisation for people with MS, recommending a holistic, evidence-based seven-part Program of healthy lifestyle habits that will impact symptom load as well as disease progression. The Program is based upon the work of Professor George Jelinek, who evaluated all the research on lifestyle and MS to create the original version of his book, Overcoming Multiple Sclerosis. 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.

Key Responsibilities:

• To oversee the Overcoming MS Program recommendations, ensuring our advice always adheres to the latest and most robust evidence.
• To review each of the seven Overcoming MS pillars, review the evidence available, making any changes as needed. Work with the team to communicate any changes within the community, including leading the development of new tools and guides as needed (eg How to talk to your GP about testing vitamin D levels).
• To identify gaps in the existing Program based on new research (eg sleep, intermittent fasting etc), reviewing the evidence base and making recommendations on adaptations and support tools (subject to IP owner approval).
• To foster solid relationships with key stakeholders (including Facilitators and expert advisors) to ensure buy in and understanding in any updates or changes to research evidence and the Program.
• 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.
