Huntington's disease is a complex, genetic, neuro-degenerative condition which has physical, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms.

The role of the GP is crucial in ensuring people living in families where there is Huntington's disease receive the right support at the right time.

Providing the right care for people with Huntington's disease can be challenging, as needs change throughout the course of disease progression. Support also needs to be given to family members who are at risk of inheriting the gene and may be considering being tested to see if they too will go on to develop symptoms. At the moment there is no cure. 

Please join us for this FREE lunchtime webinar where we will discuss some of the key things you need to know.

Dr Nayana Lahiri, Consultant Clinical Geneticist, St Georges University Hospital, will take us through how to support Huntington's disease family members around questions of genetic testing and having children.

Dr Marianne Novak, Consultant Neurologist, St Georges University Hospital, will talk us through supporting your Huntington's disease patients to manage their symptoms.
