I had a great time at #MNDEnCouRageUK

Thanks @mndresearch for the fantastic opportunity to meet and learn from research experts, peers and people living with MND.

[MND Research @mndresearch]

Mandy Spencer and @nickjamescole kicked off #MNDEnCouRageUK by highlighting the importance of training the next generation of #MND #ALS researchers.

One of these researchers could be the key to finding effective treatments or even a cure!

[MND Research @mndresearch]

On day 1 of #MNDEnCouRageUK we:

🧑‍🏫 learnt how to communicate research effectively
👂 heard about the impact of an #MND #ALS diagnosis
🧑‍💼 took time to think about careers and progression.

We can't wait for day 2, where we will be joined by people affected by MND.

See you then!

I’m delighted to have presented the findings of my study, funded by @MNDScotland, on mental capacity to make treatment decisions in ALS at #ENCALS2024 @EuansCentre

[Ratko Radakovic @ratkorad]

Amazing start to #ENCALS2024! From intricate epidemiological linkage work, to clear rapid fire talks, all the way to @_milecontre presenting on cognitive functioning relating to mental capacity in #ALS. The posters were very on point too! @UEAResearch @EuansCentre @MNDScotland

One in three people born today will develop dementia, but thousands are living undiagnosed.

If you notice changes in your loved ones, it could be dementia. Use the @alzheimerssoc symptoms checklist at https://t.co/CuoS1r9sHV.

[MND Research @PremiumXRemark]

An #MND diagnosis leads to a lot of new decisions.

Researchers from @EdinburghUni are exploring how people with MND make these decisions.

They aim to identify the types of support which may help in decision making.

People with MND can take part ⬇

Thanks @ALSMNDAlliance for inviting me to present some of the findings from our study funded by @MNDScotland on mental capacity and cognitive impairment in MND @EuansCentre @UoE_Psychology

[MND Scotland @MNDScotland]

Researchers at @EdinburghUni are exploring how people with #MND make decisions when consenting to medical treatments.

This study involves two interviews and will not affect your existing treatment.
