Helping professionals
We work to support families affected by muscle-wasting conditions 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 neuromuscular conditions 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-wasting conditions whether you are a neuromuscular care advisor, community advisor, clinician, education worker, social worker or therapist who supports a clinician.
