Dedicated support

GILENYACONNECT: the patient support programme which offers patients and healthcare professionals access to nurses and specially developed materials.

GILENYACONNECT is a patient support programme, offering patients and healthcare professionals unique access to a dedicated and experienced nurse support team and a range of specially developed materials to help patients through the first year of their GILENYA journey.

GILENYACONNECT provides UK centres with specialist nurse support for GILENYA pre-initiation, first-dose observation and first-year monitoring.

This flexible programme allows you to choose the components which best suit the needs of your centre.

Since the inception of GILENYA CONNECT, many RRMS patients have benefited from our services:
