So many brilliant speakers and great talks at the #anzmndsym. Sad it is all over but it was a great opportunity to have the ANZ MND community together face-to-face again. Many new collaborations have been formed I am sure.

So glad the The BMJ have published our Practice Pointer on Diagnosis of #MND #ALS. Patient and GP involvement was crucial to get this right, and improve diagnosis.
