Coventry and Warwickshire Group News Page

"My name is Margaret McIntosh and I am the new Regional Care Development Adviser for the West Midlands South area. I am a Registered Nurse and for the past four years I have been working at Myton Hospice in Warwick, and have also worked in community nursing in the South Warwickshire area. In the past I have worked as a District Nurse in various nursing posts mainly in the Bristol area.

I have lived in Coventry for the past six years with my husband and two daughters. I have got to know Warwickshire reasonably well, and I am looking forward to discovering the rest of the 'patch'. More importantly I am looking forward to working with you all to ensure that people affected by Motor Neurone Disease, together with their families are well supported and are able to access better quality of life. I realise that the Association, Branches and Groups together with the huge number of volunteers and supporters, have a very important role to play in making a difference to those affected by MND, and in shaping the future".

Volunteers play and important role in the MND Association. The Coventry and Warwickshire Group is looking for more volunteers to get involved to help ensure that people with MND and their families receive the support and services they need.

You could be one of our volunteers! You don't need personal experience of MND - just the desire to help.
