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.
This week we celebrate International Feeding Tube Awareness Week at MND NSW.
We take part in this celebration because for many people living with MND, a feeding tube is an opportunity to live better for longer. The heartbeat logo of this year’s celebration symbolises how feeding tubes save lives.
MND NSW is excited to announce surveys are now open for you to have your say about accessing specialised and coordinated MND healthcare in NSW and the potential use of telehealth in supporting people who live in regional and remote areas.
It is set to be a big year at MND NSW as we continue to support people living with MND to access the best possible care and support.
All MND NSW offices and InfoLine will be closed for the holiday period from 12pm on Friday 23 December 2022 and reopen on Monday 9 January 2023.
Phones and emails will not be monitored during this time.
