The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Research Group Study Day
The Irish Motor Neurone Disease Research Group at Beaumont Hospital and Trinity College is developing an educational programme for Healthcare professionals treating patients and families of people with MND.
As part of the programme, the team will host a Study Day for Healthcare Professionals around the cognitive, behavioural and personality changes that can occur in MND, and how to recognize and better manage these changes in the context of the overall management of MND.
The purpose is to help those affected by MND to recognize the impact of our evolving understanding of cognitive and behavioural change on disease management.
Research by the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Research Group at Beaumont and Trinity College Dublin has shown that these changes can increase the burden of care for families, and there is evidence to suggest that this burden may be under-reported by families and under-recognized by healthcare professionals.
Registration to attend is free of charge.
