Stem Cell Clinical Trial for Multiple Sclerosis in Sheffield

18 January 2016 by Volunteer Placement

A stem cell treatment for people with multiple sclerosis ( MS ) has enabled some patients to walk again, doctors have told a BBC Panorama programme. About 20 patients have received bone marrow transplants using their own stem cells in a clinical trial at Sheffield’s Royal Hallamshire Hospital. Professor John Snowden, consultant haematologist at Royal Hallamshire Hospital, said: “The immune system is being reset or rebooted back to a time point before it caused MS… It’s clear we have made a big impact on patients’ lives, which is gratifying.” For more information view website.

When I moved to Sheffield nearly five years ago it was my "go to" organisation. I expect it to stay that way. All the staff and volunteers seem to pull out little gems of effort that disabled people like me couldn't do without. Professionally and personally - I love em :)

A fantastic presentation thought provoking and good questions from the floor around promoting this film/message to the general public not just professionals.

Disability Sheffield is a forward-thinking, energetic organisation doing a lot of positive work in Sheffield. I have no doubt they will continue to do so for a long time to come.
