Summary

Patients with chronic illness and their relatives have exhaustive and specific experience of healthcare and the health service.These unique experiences must be taken into account for quality of care management assessment. MS affects young patients whose illness and level of disability will worsen throughout their lives. Half the patients living with MS require a natural (non professional) caregiver's support and this level of investment increases with the degree of disability. No dedicated tools for patients living with MS and their caregivers are currently available to assess their experience of the quality of care management.
