Our MND Hub hosts a range of courses on topics related to MND which are suitable for people living with MND, their family and friends and health and community care professionals. All courses, including MND Aware, are free for people living with MND and their family.
MND Aware is a comprehensive course about MND which is avaliable on the MND Hub.
The course is suitable for all types of learners, easy to use and interactive. It has been specifically developed for health and community care professionals including:
The course equips learners with a basic understanding of the disease and the impact it has on an individual's life, their families and friends, and it prepares them for when they do meet someone with the disease. MND Aware also provides specific information about care, symptom management and wellbeing, and support needs of a person with MND.
Health and community care professionals who are members of our Special Interest Group (SIG) are invited to attend the bi-annual SIG Workshop.
The workshop provides a forum to update, expand and gain knowledge about MND for health and community care professionals. It is also an important networking event and an opportunity to meet others involved in the care and support of people with MND. Complete the SIG application form to receive a quarterly newsletter keeping you up to date about MND.
The last MND SIG Workshop was held in September 2024 with the next event planned for 2026.
Delivered by our MND Advisor team either in-person or via MS Teams, the 1-hour in-service is available without cost to any organisation supporting a person who is living with MND and who is accessing our Advisor program. The in-service provides a general overview of what MND is, symptoms and symptoms management strategies.
If you are looking for more in-depth education about MND for your staff, a tailored education package might be for you. At a reasonable negotiated cost, we will tailor a package to meet your organisations education needs. Tailored packages are generally over 1-hour and can be delivered online or in-person in the Sydney area.
"The content and delivery really hit the mark with the team. We all came away feeling far more educated about MND and certainly more aware of the complexities. What we didn’t cover in detail within the 2 hours, we are now armed with the knowledge of how to access this information as required."
