Motor neurone disease: assessment and management

If your GP thinks you could have MND

If your GP thinks you could have MND, they should refer you straightaway to a consultant neurologist. A neurologist is a hospital doctor who specialises in disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

MND can sometimes be difficult to diagnose, so while you are waiting to find out what's wrong, your GP should give you and your family or carers the information and support you need.
