  Welcome to the course! Let's start off by watching this video to explain what the course is all about.
  Course Overview
  You will examine multidisciplinary working and consider its benefits and challenges. You will critically engage with NICE MND Guideline NG42 and its accompanying quality standards.
  You will be encouraged to consider MDT working in your own work environment and to develop responses in your own practice and the wider team to enhance its performance. Of course the experience of people living with MND is central to effective care, this aspect is covered and you will hear directly from people affected by MND.
  MND case studies will be provided for which you will outline and propose your local response. You will have the opportunity to compare this response to that of other teams. This will encourage you to see that there are different approaches to solve the same issues.
  Throughout you will explore your ideas, findings and opinions with a community of students. This will provide a rich environment in which to broaden your thinking.
  If you have a limited understanding or experience of MND – the MND Association ‘Understanding MND’ training videos may be a good place to start before beginning the programme. They can be found here.

Insights from the Multi-disciplinary Working Course on Motor Neurone Disease
Ahmed Yousef23 September 2024 2:16
I am currently in the first week of the course titled "Multi-disciplinary Working - Making it Effective for Motor Neurone Disease," and so far, it has been an excellent experience. The content focuses on the significance of multidisciplinary collaboration in managing Motor Neurone Disease (MND), which I find highly relevant to my interests and practice.

The material presented is well-structured and engaging, providing valuable insights into effective teamwork among healthcare professionals. This knowledge is essential for delivering comprehensive care to MND patients.

Although I have only completed the first week, I am impressed with the quality of the course and look forward to the upcoming weeks. I have rated it 5 stars based on my initial experience, and I am confident it will continue to meet my expectations.

I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in multidisciplinary approaches in healthcare, as it promises to be a valuable resource for professionals in the field.
Natalie Smith24 April 2024 1:10
A very interesting course, a way of seeing what other areas are doing but ultimately we are all doing a great job with supporting our MND patients.
