British Medical Association (BMA) Patient Information Awards

摘要

The BMA Patient Information Awards aim to recognise and encourage patient-centred care through the production and dissemination of accessible, well-designed and clinically balanced information. All highly commended entries were put forward into special awards categories that identified the resources that best promoted awareness and understanding to allow informed patient choices. Caring and MND: support for you Motor Neurone Disease Association The MND Association redeveloped their guide for carers, Caring and MND: support for you, in anticipation of the new Care Act, and changes around carers' rights and assessments. They also wanted to make it more accessible, in line with their newer provision. The content is a direct conversation with family or unpaid carers who support a person with motor neurone disease (MND) and focuses on carer wellbeing, rather than carer tasks. It explores adjustment to the role of carer, what to expect with MND, how to look after yourself as a carer and get support, and how to manage if the caring role changes or stops.
