Tracheostomy

A tube is inserted into the windpipe (the trachea) through an opening in the neck to help with breathing. The tube can be connected to an oxygen supply or ventilator.

I work as a Senior Research Officer within the MND Association to communicate the latest updates in MND research across our platforms. Additionally, I manage the digital platforms and communications for the International Symposium on ALS/MND. I graduated with a master's degree in Neuroscience from Cardiff University in 2023. I have previously supported the awareness of Fragile X syndrome within the UK.
