Understanding FND.
Supporting everyday life.
Living with FND can affect daily life. Talk to us about practical support that fits with your goals and the care you already receive.
Real symptoms. Individual experiences.
Functional neurological disorder affects how the nervous system functions. Symptoms are real and involuntary. They can include difficulties with movement, weakness, functional seizures, sensation or thinking.
People experience FND differently. Symptoms can fluctuate, and the support a person needs should reflect their own circumstances and goals.
Daily support alongside a treating plan
Tell us where you need some help in daily life. We’ll talk about support that fits with the guidance from your treating team.
- Personal routines and practical help at home
- Support to take part in meaningful everyday activities
- Clear, consistent communication about agreed support tasks
- Assistance that respects abilities, preferences and rehabilitation goals
- Understanding any individual response plans supplied by treating clinicians
Supporting participation and independence
Referral planning should make clear where assistance is needed and where the person is practising skills or working towards greater independence. Support should fit the agreed plan, including how to respond when needs change.
For referrers
Tell us about the support requested, current treating team and practical goals. Specific care tasks and any response plans need to be reviewed before support arrangements are confirmed.
Let’s discuss the support required.
Start with daily needs, goals and the people already involved.
