Welcome to MND Views, our video hub about treatment and care with motor neurone disease (MND) or Kennedy’s disease.

This video hub features people who have been diagnosed, along with carers and partners. Their thoughts about the support they need and receive may help you feel more informed. This can be of benefit when seeking health and social care support or when making decisions. Our thanks to everyone who has kindly taken part. Find out more about this project at About MND Views.

The interview clips are available by person or by topic. Read more on topics by searching with our Care information finder, or contact our MND Connect helpline for support.
