The ERNcare4ua website has recently launched a EU Survey to monitor the care delivered by ERNs to Ukrainian refugees.
Despite the Coordination Team's best efforts to report all cases coming to our knowledge, we would encourage each HCP to do their report directly by using the survey address below. Thank you for your collaboration, as it will support the role of the ERNs in this difficult period of our common history.

In April 2022, 33 patient representatives from 23 patient organisations and 11 countries are involved in EURO-NMD. What is the role of patient representatives? Euro-NMD patient representatives represent the voice and interest of their patient community and act as the bridge between this community and Euro-NMD. They take part in specialist disease groups, cross-cutting specialist groups and advisory boards. They can also become members of the Patient Advisory Board, which coordinates patient involvement in the network. See patient participation in Euro-NMD.

ENMC has a unique concept of facilitating and organising workshops initiated by experts in the field of neuromuscular conditions. Workshop proposals can be submitted to ENMC twice a year and the ENMC Research Committee judges these workshop applications on scientific quality, timing, relevance and list of participants. The ENMC Executive Committee decides which applications can be developed towards and executed as an ENMC workshop.

Message from ENMC.
Because it is essential to hear not only the opinion of the workshop participants but also your opinion, a questionnaire has been developed for healthcare professionals. This questionnaire asks for your ideas about psychological support for people with a neuromuscular disorder.
Some of the topics covered are: when is psychological support needed, how can it be applied to neuromuscular disorders, and access to psychological support. The results of this questionnaire will be presented during the workshop. It would be of great importance to us if you would complete the questionnaire. Filling in the questionnaire takes approximately 15 minutes.
If you want to fill in the questionnaire directly, you can do so via the following link 👉 English: https://lnkd.in/eS3uymhi
