June 2022 - Cure DM Grant to support:

Multi-centre audit of Myotonic dystrophy care in the UK: Is it the time for national recommendations?

Litesh., et al

Cure DM are delighted to have recently supported 3rd year medical student Mohit Litesh ( working alongside Dr Channa Hewamadduma, Consultant Neurologist in Sheffield) with a grant towards the attendance and presentation of his abstract, for the annual conference for the Association of British Neurologists (ABN).

"I had great feedback from attendees of the ABN and that our presentation has sent a strong message in regards to highlighting not only the short-term improvements one can make when delivering care to myotonic dystrophy patients, but also the importance of other centres also carrying out their own respective audits to help identify the gaps in their care"

The charity regularly supports patients and families who are facing often unnecessary, but continuous, challenges with their clinical care. This is a time consuming, worrying, and serious burden for families and patients, which often those in clinics can not fully appreciate. The condition is still generally not understood within the NHS. Current care recommendations and best practices are not always UK Specific and therefore are not always appropriately implemented. This work will help raise the profile of Myotonic Dystrophy and identify areas where improvements can be made within clinical settings. Reducing the unnecessary stress that is often experienced around their care by those living with this rare disease will ultimately increase positive quality of life. We are very pleased to have been able to support this presentation and look forward to seeing and sharing the full published paper in due course.
