• Research summary

  I propose to do my dissertation on the relationship between vitamin D and multiple sclerosis (MS). As routine practice the neurologist in my department tests vitamin D levels and treats deficiency with supplements. I wish to study this topic to examine whether routine testing is necessary in patients with MS.
  I plan to do my dissertation in the style of a synthesis as I will be collecting data from practice whist examining research based literature to support or dispute my findings.
