This is a fantastic achievement for @fndireland.bsky.social, Dr Aoife Laffan, and colleagues and no mean feat in the current health service climate 👏 A very welcome step in developing specialist pathways for supporting those living with FND in Ireland. 🙌

Critical findings from my man @bryandjames.bsky.social at Rush Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Social activities may delay dementia onset by 5 years. That delay could result in $500,000 savings in healthcare costs. #ENDALZ #Alzheimer's alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

People with #MS and other #neurological conditions: your vote matters!! Neuropsychological services are few & far between: underfunded, & understaffed. Vote wisely to elect politicians who will work to improve your access to evidence-based supports!🧠 @naiireland @DONPSI #GE24 x.com/MSIRELAND/st...

Check out this randomized controlled trial of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) for depression in Parkinson's. Spoiler alert: In the age of drugs, this tried and true approach works too, as Diana Koszycki and colleagues report in the the Movement Disorders Journal.

👩‍⚕️ 1 in 5 GP appointments are for folks with functional symptoms. 🫣 For some people these can be caused by how emotions are being dealt with. 🎙I had a discussion about this with Neurologist Dr Agne Straukiene and reflected on how this be managed for people who have both MS and functional symptoms.

1/ So, I'm now going to share some of my favourite #FND resources (aimed at OTs/AHPs) and a few recent papers I found really interesting. I'm no FND expert but I have been involved in some programmes and it's a really exciting area of practice & when we get things right we can make such a difference
