Community of Practice Annual Network Event

Event Notes:

This event is  exclusively for members of the MND Professionals’ Community of Practice, a peer led group of health and social care professionals encouraging and supporting the development of good care for people living with, or affected by, MND.

The Community of Practice Annual Networking Event, taking place on 9 October from 9am to 4:30pm at the National Conference Centre, Birmingham is your opportunity to connect and collaborate with colleagues from across the UK.

This year we will be looking at caring for people living with MND through the lens of risk taking and maximising quality of life. Our keynote speaker, Professor Eneida Mioshi will kick the day off with an insightful presentation ‘Behavioural symptoms triangulated: perspectives from the family, the view of healthcare professionals, and the evidence from the research literature.’

This will be followed by a presentation on mental capacity in the context of MND. You will then split into groups and move through four stimulating sessions to consider the implications for quality of life for people living with MND.
