MND Decision Tools is a new Australian website developed to assist people with MND make decisions for their care and quality of life, particularly when the decision is hard to make, or there is no clear answer. Tools for three topics - gastrostomy/PEG, predictive genetic testing and assisted ventilation (NIV) - have already been developed and are ready to use, with other topic areas to be developed in the future. Each tool explains the advantages and disadvantages related to the decision and guides you to consider your personal feelings about each choice.

The MND Decision Tools project is led by Dr Anne Hogden and the site was developed in consultation with an expert panel of people with MND, their family members, health professionals, MND Association representatives and researchers. MND Decision Tools is available free online and you do not need to register to use the site. See https://mnddecisiontools.com/ for more information.

Thank you to Don McMurray who organised his 5th MND Charity Concert in support of MND NSW.
