Motor Neuron Disease awareness
Course Overview
Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a progressive, life-limiting
condition that affects the nerve cells responsible for voluntary movement,
including speech, swallowing, mobility, and breathing. The impact is
profound—not only for those diagnosed but also for their families and the
healthcare professionals who support them. Living with MND involves navigating
complex physical, emotional, and psychological challenges. This course is
designed to build the knowledge, confidence, and compassion needed to support
individuals affected by MND throughout every stage of their journey.
