We’ve been working with people with Huntington’s disease and their families for over 20 years. We’ve learned a lot about Huntington’s in that time, but the important thing to remember is every Huntington’s journey is different.
We’ve gathered together useful information and best practice to help you when working with your patients and families.
The Huntington’s journey can be vary a lot from person to person – even members of the same family. But there are some common interventions that can help at different stages.
We’ve produced a care pathway that charts the progression of the disease alongside the interventions that may be available for patients. However, services available for people with Huntington’s vary across England and Wales, so not all people will have access to every service that is recommended.
If you’d like to discuss the care pathway for one of your patients, our Specialist Huntington’s Disease Advisers can help. To contact the adviser for your local area visit our Support near you page.
