An Exeter neurologist has helped conduct trials of a new treatment for multiple sclerosis - which is now being hailed as a breakthrough.
The drug will benefit patients in the progressive phase of the illness, for whom treatment hasn't so far been available.
Dr Tim Harrower from the RD & E Hospital played a key part in an international study on the medication.
He says it should be accessible to those who need it soon.
