e-Learning Course on end-of-life care in MND 

Research has shown how motor neurone disease (MND) care should be provided through a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach that is person-centred, focusing on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of the person (Foley, 2011). Those MDT professionals who are more adept at addressing the existential concerns of people with MND are psychologists or palliative care professionals (Hogden et al., 2017).

Heidegger understood the three ecstasies of time as a lived-through past, experienced present, and anticipated future. This existential phenomenon is evident through the telling of stories. 

You will develop knowledge and understanding of the proposed temporal model of care. This will support professionals to focus their conversations on what is important for the person. This may be their lived-through past, or their experienced present, or their anticipated future. A person who has been diagnosed with MND, or any other neurological condition(s), will, through this model, be encouraged to direct the focus of conversation.

You will share a case study with the group and how you can change your practice through your understanding of the Temporal Model of Care.
