About The Course

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a rare, progressive neurological condition that typically worsens with age, affecting an individual's ability to move, speak, eat, and breathe. It impacts the brain and nervous system and presents both physical and emotional challenges.

This training equips learners with the critical information needed to support individuals with MND, whether in a professional care setting or at home. The course covers key aspects such as understanding the disease, recognising symptoms, responding to care needs, and providing appropriate emotional and practical support. Special focus is also placed on the role of the care team, necessary equipment, and legal and mental health considerations.
