The University's Department of Pharmacy is organising an Information Day entitled “Multiple Sclerosis: Modern Therapies and Holistic Patient Care”, on Wednesday, 6 May 2026, from 17:00 to 20:00, at Frederick University, Nicosia campus.

The event will be held at the “Tassos Papadopoulos” Amphitheatre (7 Yianni Frederickou Str., Pallouriotissa, New Wing, 1st floor), with the support of the Cyprus Multiple Sclerosis Association. 

The aim of the event is to highlight current developments in the management of Multiple Sclerosis, with an emphasis on the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Healthcare professionals from various specialties will address the disease from multiple perspectives, covering topics related to diagnosis, therapeutic options, nursing care, physiotherapy, as well as important aspects of living with the disease, such as family planning and quality of life.

A key feature of the event is the presentation of a patient’s personal experience, which is expected to add a meaningful and human dimension to the discussion.

The event is addressed to healthcare professionals, students of Health Sciences, and the wider public, providing a platform for information sharing, knowledge exchange, and meaningful dialogue on Multiple Sclerosis.

The programme includes presentations by distinguished scientists and healthcare professionals. The agenda is as follows:
