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 Research Officer within the MND Association to help organise the International Symposium and communicating the latest updates of MND research across our social media platforms. 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.
