Online Diaries

We have asked three delegates attending the 18th International Symposium on ALS/MND to record their thoughts as online diaries as they prepare for and attend the meeting.
We hope that their entries will give a feeling for what it is like to attend the meeting, gossip and network with their friends and colleagues and take home some new ideas that they can put into practice in the future.

As you will see from their biographies Paul, Ruth and Richard are all working on different aspects of research into, and clinical management of MND
