A UK multi-centre study aiming at understanding the optimal nutritional management for people with #ALS #MND who are fed enterally following a #gastrostomy.

https://t.co/ehOBFvCJ8g People affected by MND have been supported to develop something to help others learn from their experiences. They have taken the best evidence and their personal experiences and come up myBreathing. #ALS #MND #coproduction

A fantastic addition to the ‘myMND’ information resources. Developed in collaboration with people living with MND, helping inform about the option to start non-invasive ventilation (NIV). Check it out and share far and wide @mndassoc @SYMNDA https://t.co/NPrvRTmdTJ

How time flies, we only have 6 months of recruitment left!

Really inspiring talk by dietitian Sean White, on the importance of MDT working and how we present information to patients in an accessible and timely fashion to support complex decision making for alternative feeding @UKSRG2 #UKSRG2020 #MND @mndassoc

Let's start 2020 the way we mean to carry on, by raising awareness of motor neurone disease.

Please retweet our graphic which highlights some of the key facts about the disease.

Together we can achieve our vision of a world free from #MND 🧡 thank you for your support!
