The MRC Centre for Neuromuscular Diseases provides a multidisciplinary service for adult and paediatric patient with a neuromuscular condition.
Patients will undergo a comprehensive assessment which includes full clinical assessment by a consultant expert in rare neuromuscular disorders, specialist nurse consultation, physiotherapist assessment and social care advisor consultation. The service provides a whole of life service to patients with neuromuscular conditions.
Patients who attend paediatric clinics and eventually go on to attend adult clinics will still be seen by the same specialists. This continuity of care helps deliver a smooth transition from one clinic to another.
We regularly hold a number of clinics in ten locations across the North East and Cumbria. These include:
Each year we hold about 200 clinics across the North East and Cumbria.
