Our care animations provide short overviews to help explain each disease or a type of support. They can be easily shared with other people to help understanding or awareness. For example, if someone needs an explanation about NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), our animation may be a good place to start.
This first animation, What is MND? provides basic facts about motor neurone disease (MND).
What is Kennedy's disease?
This animation explores basic facts about Kennedy's disease, which shares some symptoms with MND. The similarity of these symptoms can lead to confusion at diagnosis.
What is NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)?
This animation gives an overview of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and the assessment process. This type of care can help if you have complex medical and social care needs.
What is social care?
This animation explores what adult social care is, how it can help and how both you and your unpaid carer can get assessments for support.
What is voice and message banking?
