New search tool for professionals
23 May 2024
We are delighted to launch our new Professional Information Finder tool. We have a wide range of information resources available to support you as a health and social care professional, and for the people living with MND you work with.
As our provision has expanded over the years, it can be challenging for professionals to find exactly what they are looking for. We currently have almost 200 resources that may be of interest to you or your patients, in a wide range of formats such as webinar recordings, infographics, videos, booklets and much more.
Our new tool helps you to easily find all our resources on a specific topic or for a specific profession. The results will include links to all of our resources for you, and for the people with or affected by MND you are supporting. You can select multiple topics at once if you wish, and can then send those via email, either to someone else or yourself.
