Health and Social Care professionals who are likely to come into contact with people with MND can update their knowledge of the processes underlying the condition and the range of specialist interventions offered by their fellow professionals via several entirely different routes.

National Conference
Approximately every 18 months we organise a national conference for health and social care professionals interested in MND. These conferences take a multidisciplinary approach and include sessions relevant to all disciplines involved in the care of people with MND. The next national conference is scheduled for early 2009 to be held at the Beardmore Hotel in the grounds of the Golden Jubilee Hospital, Clydebank, near Glasgow.
Study Days
In between National Conferences we organise occasional regional study days, often in conjunction with local hospices. Recent study days have been held at the Ayrshire Hospice and Strathcarron Hospice.
In-Service Education at Work
Our education service can arrange for speakers to deliver talks, case-studies and workshops on specific aspects of MND ranging from introductory awareness raising sessions to complex case studies.
The Association provides a wide collection of publications for health and social care professionals. Some of these include:
