What is Motor Neurone Disease (MND)?

Motor Neurone Disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurological condition that affects the nerve cells (motor neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscles.

As these neurons degenerate, the muscles weaken, leading to symptoms such as muscle twitching, loss of coordination, and difficulty with speech, swallowing, and movement. Although MND has no cure, supportive management can help individuals maintain quality of life, improve comfort, and maximise independence.

Are You or a Loved One Facing the Challenges of MND?

Living with MND can feel overwhelming. The gradual loss of mobility, coordination, and muscle strength can make daily tasks challenging, and the condition’s progressive nature often brings emotional strain as well. For families, knowing how best to provide care and support can be difficult. But with compassionate guidance and personalised care, it’s possible to enhance comfort, preserve independence, and face MND with dignity and resilience.

MND is Challenging – But You Don’t Have to Face It Alone

  • Physical Symptoms: Muscle weakness, fatigue, and loss of coordination that impact mobility, speech, and independence.
  • Emotional Impact: The stress of progressive symptoms and the emotional toll on both individuals and their families.
  • Fairness: Everyone deserves access to compassionate, expert care to help them navigate MND with comfort, support, and dignity.
