Regional Care Development Advisers
The Association has a network of Regional Care Development Advisers (RCDAs), covering England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Regional Care Development Advisers (listed below):
- have detailed knowledge of the care and management of MND
- work closely with local statutory services and community care providers to ensure effective support for people affected by MND
- offer support and advice to people with MND and their families
- act as educators, facilitors and catalysts
If you are unsure of the RCDA for your area please contact the MND Connect Team. We would also encourage you to contact this service if the RCDA is not available.
