About Active Nuero

Thank you for your interest in our Active Nuero programmes. This service was piloted in the Mid-West through funding from the SlainteCare Integration Fund and we are now delighted to continue that service and to expand to more areas. These programmes are now made possible by funding from the HSE through the Strategic Transformation Office, the Strengthening Disability Services Fund and through CHO-2 Disability services. They are available for people living with any neurological condition residing in Limerick, Clare, Tipperary, Galway, Mayo, Roscommon, Wicklow, Dun Laoghaire and South East Dublin. You do not need to be a member of MS Ireland to participate.

How does Active Neuro differ from the MS Ireland regional programmes?

MS Ireland provides general health-promoting exercise programmes to people living with MS. Active Neuro programmes cater to people living with any neurological condition

, for example, stroke, Parkinson's disease or ataxias. As there are symptoms in common across these conditions, this allows us to deliver more specialised and tailored programmes to a wider range of participants.

How is my information managed?

This form will help us learn about you and what you would like to gain from a programme. Your information is input directly into MS Ireland's SalesForce systems and is only available to the physiotherapy team that delivers Active Neuro. You can decide against integrating your information with MS Irelands membership database if you wish. However, to avoid unnecessary duplication within our database, your name, email and date of birth only will be visible to all MSIreland staff. If you are already a member of MS Ireland, your regional office will be able to see only that you are taking part in Active Neuro. They will not be able to see the information you enter.

GDPR and Consent - In order for the Active Neuro project to comply with current General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) we are required to obtain your formal consent to gather and use information about you. Under this regulation the Active Neuro project and MS Ireland must adhere to the following:

· Valid consent must be explicit for the data collected and the purposes the data is used for

· The consent does not imply consent forever

· The data must only be used for the purpose it was initially intended for and no other

The first part of the data we collect will be used to ensure your safety and suitability to participate in the Active Neuro Programmes. (Medical history, Medication list and Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire). This data will be collected over the Zoom assessment and is stored on our secure online servers and encrypted laptops.

The other data we gather will be during an individual consultation using Zoom for healthcare and an initial assessment on Form Assembly. The questionnaires and information gathered will be used to evaluate the effects of the programme or to tailor the programme for you. You will complete the same questionnaires before and after the programme. We will also record information about how you are completing the programmes.

Your data will be stored in secure offices or on encrypted laptops for the duration of the project and for 7 years afterwards (based at MS Ireland, Tara House). Only the Active Neuro project team will have access to your individual data.

The data in the questionnaires you complete before and after the programmes will be entered into MS Ireland's SalesForce systems and analysed as group averages with no sharing of individual data. The aggregated (and hence anonymous) data from all participants will be used in project reports or in presentations to professional groups or to health funders. We may ask if we can use your information for a case study and you can choose if this is anonymous.

I consent to the Active Neuro project staff collecting, processing, analysing, and storing the data associated with providing me with an exercise programme or treatment

I consent to the Active Neuro project creating and updating a file with my data

I consent to be assessed and treated by the physiotherapist or exercise personnel using Zoom for healthcare
