Standards of Clinical Care in Ataxia

[wobblybee]

🙂 I just watched an interesting, easy to understand YouTube presentation on behalf of the National Ataxia Foundation.

It was given by Dr Theresa Zesiewicz.

It guides the patient through the process of examination, how diagnosis can be made, and much more..

This may be of particular interest to those people who are still waiting for their first appointment with a Neurologist.

Dear all,I run the Ataxia UK support group in South London. One of our members posts about a monthly talk that an ataxia-friendly doctor gives ( a different doctor each month) and it is really interesting hosted by the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF). The session is called Ask the Ataxia Expert and the link can be found on the NAF website. Here is the link for the next session in November. The link will also tell you about, and give you access to, the previous sessions: ataxia.org/asktheexpert/
