For professionals

We work to support families with muscle disease and you, the professionals, who support them in day to day life.

It is vitally important that individuals and families living with muscular dystrophy and other muscle-wasting diseases receive the appropriate care and support at neuromuscular clinics and in their local communities. We are here to support and help you provide that care and support

We provide a range of services to help you work with children and adults with muscle disease whether you are a neuromuscular care advisor, community advisor, clinician, education worker, social worker or therapist who supports a clinician.
