MND Matters Episode 25: Wheelchairs
Description
Did you know that it's estimated that 80% of people living with MND will need a wheelchair during their time living with the condition?
In this insightful episode, our guest host, Pauline, who is Head of National Care at the MND Association, is joined by Simon Aspray, who is living with MND, and Maggy Hevicon, one of two specialist wheelchair therapists at the MND Association. Maggy, along with the care improvement coordinator, works with NHS wheelchair services to make sure people living with MND get what they need, when they need it.
The Association also provides financial grants for people living with MND towards a variety of wheelchair accessories which are not funded by statutory services. Last year the Association funded almost £70,000 of these grants for people living with MND, including one for Simon, who shares the impact of this support.
