MND Connect 08457 626262, is open five days a week, 9am-5pm and 7pm-10.30pm, offering information, support and advice.
Our publications cover a whole range of related issues, from specific aspects of MND, to treatment advice and research developments.
Our Regional Care Development Advisers (RCDAs) are trained Health & Social Care Professionals. They work closely with local authorities on care provision and can advise in complex situations, as they have expert knowledge of the care and management of MND.
A very important source of information, advice and support are the Association Visitors and Befrienders. These trained men and women are based throughout the country with a vast amount of experience and knowledge on all aspects of MND.
There is a network of over 95 Branches and Groups nationwide, these provide a warm welcome, friendship and the opportunity to meet with other people affected by MND in your community.
