@FNDAction People with FND can improve or recover woth just a short course of specialised physiotherapy. It’s not expensive but still not available to most people. This has to change #Voices4FND #Time4Action #FNDHope

@GCarr_Neuro @WaltonCentre @TheNeuroAcademy FND is often treatable with cost effective therapy. We need to keep working to develop services for physical and psychological therapies around the UK #FNDHope

VERY EXCITING! Could you be tempted by a Consultant Neurologist post in #Newcastle with an interest in #epilepsy? We very much hope so. New post, drop me a line, come and have a look round

@Doctors_net_uk news story: Pregnant women now a pandemic priority https://t.co/vd7PVsfcm0 up to a third of women age 16-49 with severe respiratory failure are pregnant.
If you are pregnant or planning pregnancy 🤰 vaccination against COVID is so important

No pregnant women who have had both doses have been admitted to hospital. Really important data from an excellent study. If you are pregnant please get vaccinated! #VaccinesWork

[David L. Perez MD, MMSc, FAAN, FANPA @DavidLewisPerez]

There are gaps in the care & research of #FND. In @PsychMedJournal, we call #Psychiatry to action - promoting that the #FND community will benefit from an integrated clinical neuroscience perspective. Physical health & mental health are interconnected.

#FND is the most common condition you have never heard of. It is the 2nd most frequent reason for a neurology outpatient appointment and more prevalent than Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease.

We are #FNDAware. Are you? Please RT

I despair. We should be vaccinating elderly and vulnerable people with a second dose at 3 weeks as this is the only regime that is evidence based. This paper shows a reduced immune response to a single dose in older or immune compromised people #atopgamblingwithpeopleslives

This is an essential read for anyone caring for women or girls with epilepsy @kiran_jilani @youngepilepsy @NandaSurabhi @MHRAgovuk @mbrrace

[Epilepsy Action @epilepsyaction]

The @MHRAgovuk’s review of the use of epilepsy medication in pregnancy has highlighted the existing evidence of the risks of harm to unborn children posed by the use of some medications during pregnancy. (1/9)
