A UK multi-centre study aiming at understanding the optimal nutritional management for people with #ALS#MND who are fed enterally following a #gastrostomy.
mybreathing.mymnd.org.uk People affected by MND have been supported to develop something to help others learn from their experiences. They have taken the best evidence and their personal experiences and come up myBreathing. #ALS#MND#coproduction
A fantastic addition to the ‘myMND’ information resources. Developed in collaboration with people living with MND, helping inform about the option to start non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Check it out and share far and wide @mndassoc@SYMNDAmybreathing.mymnd.org.uk
Really inspiring talk by dietitian Sean White, on the importance of MDT working and how we present information to patients in an accessible and timely fashion to support complex decision making for alternative feeding @UKSRG2#UKSRG2020#MND@mndassoc
The 2019 Hawking Lecture is now available to view online. It features @profcjmcdermott presenting the latest thinking on nutrition in #MND.
