We are currently making a short film to promote 'Gastrostomy tube - Is it for me?' If you have MND, have used the decision aid and might be interested in taking part, please get in touch asap. We would come to you to film @mndassoc
Excited to announce the launch of the 'Gastrostomy tube - Is it for me?' decision aid on the MND Association website. This decision aid was developed as part of the DiAMoND study.

Small steps but in the right direction at last. Progress is too slow for people living with #ALS #MND. I hope our increasing understanding of this awful illness will lead to many more positive stories in the coming years. bbc.co.uk/news/health-628511…

Week 2 of the inquest at Southwark Coroner’s Court ; December 7- December 11. Did air pollution contribute or cause Ella’s death?
This is one of the most important inquests of our time and could change soo much for future generations. You’re amazing Rosamund 🤞🤞🤞
#JusticeForElla #Breathingcleanairisahumanright Thank you for your kind messages of support. It has been a hard journey to get here but from tomorrow & for the next 10days Ella’s siblings & I hope to get answers why Els had one of the worst cases of asthma ever recorded in the UK

I've never been prouder to be Bristol City Poet & to offer a poem to my adopted city than I am today. This piece is called Hollow and I hope you like it. I've captioned it and everything!

Impossible to have a review to find out why COVID adversely affects the BAME community without looking at the role air pollution has when considering the impact on health. We know COVID deaths are far worse in cities that have high air pollution. Govt must get a grip @SarahVAtDSC
Omission of air pollution from report on #covid19 and race ‘astonishing’
- Failure to consider dirty air as a factor in higher death toll among ethnic minorities 'wholly irresponsible', say critics inc @rosamund_ElsFdn and @GeraintDaviesMP

Please demand a New Clean Air Act from Govt. 1.1M kids in the UK have asthma, over 150 kids have died from asthma since Ella’s death. In London 1 in 10 kids have asthma & in summer can rise to 1 in 7. Dr Grigg “Air Pollution is equivalent to passive smoking 10 cigarettes daily” – at Lewisham, London
