Frequently Asked Questions

It’s an online training course that teaches what MND is, how it affects the brain and nervous system, and how to support individuals living with this progressive condition.

MND is a rare, progressive neurological condition where motor neurons break down, leading to muscle weakness, speech and swallowing problems, and breathing difficulties.

This course is ideal for nurses, carers, therapists, and healthcare professionals supporting people with MND or involved in neurological care.

You’ll learn to recognise MND symptoms, understand progression and care needs, support physical and emotional wellbeing, and work with a multidisciplinary care team.

There’s currently no cure for MND, but treatments and supportive therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
