As reported in the Sunday Times, pharmaceutical company Trace Neuroscience has begun an early-stage clinical trial of TRCN-1023, a potential treatment that could benefit the 97% of people with MND who have sporadic (non-inherited) disease.

Our Chief Scientist, Dr Brian Dickie, said:

"Although this is an early-stage trial, it represents an important step in the search for new, effective treatments for the majority of people with MND."

The MND Association is proud to have jointly funded, with the Medical Research Council, the fundamental research that helped identify this new therapeutic target and support its journey from the laboratory to clinical trial.

There can be no excuse to target hard-working staff, and the abuse aimed at staff at Lisnaskea Health Centre is unacceptable. We want to send our support to all the staff there.

Do you have an increasing workload of routine patient presentations, difficulty recruiting clinicians, lack of appointment slots & cover for extended hours, a flexible approach to workforce long term and urgent patient care? #PAs are a cost-effective solution in #GeneralPractice

Although the GP might be the best known member of the primary care team, they are just one part of a diverse team that includes clinical admin staff, care navigators, nurses, physician associates, pharmacists, social workers, counsellors, physios, & paramedics.
