What do we do?

We support families and individuals affected by NS with information, webinars with expert medical speakers, Families Day events, and involvement in research projects.
We support health & social care workers and other professionals who have a relevant interest in the condition, with information and guidance.
We facilitate research by participating in projects and ‘pump-priming’ new research, to advance improvements in the understanding, care, and management of the condition.
