Did you know around 37% of injury-related deaths are caused by falls?

This April Falls, we are promoting the campaign – Better Balance for Falls Prevention and taking part in raising awareness of the impact of falls and good practice in falls prevention.

Swallow Awareness Day is on Thursday 16 March 2023 and the theme this year is ‘Dysphagia. A difficult diagnosis to swallow.’ The day raises awareness for swallowing disorders and encourages people who are experiencing swallow changes to connect with health professionals to access support.

Special occasions like Easter can tend to focus on enjoying and sharing food with family and friends. This can be a challenging time for someone with MND, who may have a modified diet or a PEG, and they may feel that they are missing out.

So, we have some suggestions for ways to make enjoyable treats for those with dysphagia so no one misses out on their Easter chocolate!

Presented by Professor Steve Vucic. Summary provided by MND NSW

There are many worldwide collaborative research projects searching for new and effective treatments for MND and this includes clinical trials. It is important to remember that clinical trials are not treatments, they are scientific experiments to test out potential new treatments.
