MND Aware - Newcastle

The aim of the MND Aware face to face training is to facilitate an awareness of the impact of motor neurone disease (MND), inform and resource front line staff on effective ways of responding to people with MND and enhance the capacity of existing services to more appropriately meet the needs of people with MND.

The MND Aware training has been specifically developed for health and community care providers

MND is a rapidly progressive disease with no known cure and limited treatment. To maintain quality of life, people with MND require a coordinated approach to care.

• health, allied health and palliative care professionals

• NDIA staff.

You will learn about:

• the impact of MND
• effective ways of responding to people with MND
