MND Academy webinar

This 45-minute webinar will provide a practical, multidisciplinary update on the management of motor neurone disease (MND) from diagnosis through to end of life.

Bringing together expertise from neurology, nursing, and palliative care, the session will explore how to communicate effectively at the initial appointment, outline current and emerging treatment options, and share approaches to holistic care planning. Attendees will gain insights into supporting people with MND and their families with clear, empowering information while balancing complex clinical needs, research opportunities, and end-of-life discussions.

Webinar objectives

1. Outline best practice for initial consultations at MND diagnosis – including how to introduce clinical trials, discuss current treatment pathways, and approach late presentations with sensitivity and clarity.
   
2. Apply practical approaches to holistic, multidisciplinary care throughout the course of MND – from diagnosis to end of life, incorporating palliative care principles, advance care planning, ADRTs, and effective team working.
   
3. Recognise the role of specialist nursing in supporting people with MND – addressing domains of dysfunction (motor, bulbar, respiratory, cognitive), use of interventions such as NIV and gastrostomy, outcome measures, and strategies to empower patients while avoiding unnecessary or overwhelming interactions.
