Just met Alex who’s keen to work with us on our new National Institute for Health and Care Research funded study to deliver better Better NIV for MND . Within minutes I could tell she’s a real champion for her patients and a real expert in her field. So many amazing staff in Home Mechanical Ventilation in Partnership

Do you have experience living with MND or helping someone who does? We are looking for help shape our new UK study trying to improve the way people use breathing machines. More info here.

Researchers, including @drestherhobson and Emily Mayberry (she/her), from Neuroscience Institute would like to hear from people with #MND and their carers about their emotional experiences of MND. The study aims to help improve emotional support for people with MND. More info: mndassociation.org/research/get-i…

Our new paper tells researchers what things are important to measure when we think about quality of life in people living with the #ALS #MND #encals funded by National Institute for Health and Care Research and NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Our systematic review & new framework are out! We examined health-related quality of life for people with #ALS #MND and developed a new conceptual framework.

“You’re changing the conversation from care to cure…” Neuroscience Institute’s Chris McDermott putting fire in the bellies of our walkers with a reminder of how they’re helping bring an MND cure closer. #TUOSBigWalk


We'd like to congratulate Prof Heidi Christensen and Dan Blackburn who have been awarded the Made with Patients Equality, Diversity and Inclusivity award from the Patient Engagement Open Forum. The award recognises their collaborative work with CognoSpeak. sheffield.ac.uk/cs/news/sheffi….

Great to see amazing research in MND funded by MND Scotland by Brittany Ellis from Neuroscience Institute and NIHR Sheffield Biomedical Research Centre at the medical research day. Another step forward to finding a cure


Can the MND/ALS community can help? I would like some photos to use in educational materials & websites of people of colour with MND/ALS using NIV/BiPAP. I want to make our pictures more diverse. Is anyone willing to share a picture of themselves? DMs open. ALS Advocacy
