Motor Neurone DiseaseRiluzoleStandard GambleBackground Motor neurone disease (MND) is a devastating condition which greatly diminishes patients' quality of life and limits life expectancy. Health technology appraisals of future interventions in MND need robust data on costs and utilities. Existing economic...

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) leads to muscle weakening, affecting movement, speech, and breathing. Home mechanical ventilation, particularly non-invasive ventilation (NIV), is used to alleviate symptoms and support breathing in people living with MND. While home mechanical ventilation can alleviate ...
However, nursing students are rarely provided with an opportunity to undertake a research placement. They therefore have a limited understanding of what being a research participant involves for patients. This article describes the type of research carried out in an NHS trust in northwest England, ...
P197Efficacy of a Local Domiciliary Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) Service for Motor Neurone Disease (MND): Patient Survival, Safety and SatisfactionBackgroundNIV is an established treatment for MND patients with ventilatory failure and improves survival by an average of 219 days.1 NHS England (...
P94 Developing a Motor Neurone Disease (MND) service in austere times: the power of partnership workingBackgroundPrior to the changes, pockets of good practice existed but services were uncoordinated and communication ineffective. Care was often reactive in response to crises and patients reported ...
