MyDirectives: Make your medical wishes known!
65 members
MyDirectives is the first completely digital emergency, critical and advance care planning service that is secure, easy to understand, and free to consumers to use. Apple iPhone users can also download MyDirectives MOBILE for free in the Apple App Store. MyDirectives and MyDirectives MOBILE are services offered by ADVault, Inc., a privately owned U.S. corporation dedicated to ensuring that emergency first responders, doctors, nurses and caregivers always have access to the most important voice in healthcare - yours. MyDirectives helps consumers record their medical treatment wishes, preferences regarding palliative and hospice care, organ donation, and autopsy, and other critical personal information both on the device, and in the format, that is most convenient and comfortable for them. We then work with healthcare providers and payers, to make the directives available.

HealthWeb Navigator
230 members
The goal of this community is to help patients to find the best resources about the health care. At HealthWeb Navigator, we evaluate healthcare websites, allowing users to see which resources provide consumer-friendly and up-to-date information. Health care has become complicated. Many patients are spending more of their own money to cover medical costs and less time receiving the care they need. Consumers are turning to the internet for diagnosis and learning more about health conditions. Major challenges include understanding medical costs and conditions, finding the right doctor or hospital, and accessing the latest research.

DC is rare but other telomeropathies may be more common and can be confused with other conditions. Specialist care is essential but can be difficult to find. Please share your experiences. We are a small group so it's really important that our voices are heard to help improve access to specialist care and treatment. Post about diagnosis, treatment, access to health services, share problems, ask questions and offer solutions. Polls and questionnaires will help us to lobby for better NHS services.

FND Action
667 members
History has created a lot of misconception of Functional Neurological Disorders which has led to poor treatment and care of those diagnosed, which includes men, women and children of all ages. It is positive that the increase in awareness is slowly helping, but there is still a long way to go to ensure all those diagnosed are supported and cared for appropriately. FND Action is a charity registered in the UK that has been set up by a handful of people who themselves have been diagnosed with FND and/or NEAD. Our aim is to help those across the UK by providing a peer support network, ongoing advice and current information, and to work in collaboration with healthcare professionals to ensure the best care is offered for recovery and long term health management.
