SUMMARY:Annual Stephen Hawking MND Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The Annual Stephen Hawking MND Lectures were launched in 2017 – and are now an established and important part of the Association’s calendar. \nThe aim of the Annual Stephen Hawking MND Lecture is to bring current research in motor neurone disease to members of the multidisciplinary team and demonstrate how this might feed into their practice. Lectures are led by experts in their field\, and these engaging and popular events attract hundreds of health and social care professionals\, including delegates from across Europe. The lectures are held in the evening and online to make attendance as open as possible. \nOur thanks to the Stephen Hawking Foundation for their funding support. \nRegistrations open for the 2025 Annual Stephen Hawking MND Lecture:\nThe genetics of motor neurone disease: why does genetics matter for people living with MND?\nWe are delighted to announce that Professor Ammar Al-Chalabi\, Professor of Neurology and Complex Disease Genetics\, will deliver this year’s lecture.
