What is LEARNThe Lived Experience and Researcher Network (LEARN) is a project first run by MND Scotland in 2023. The 2023 pilot invited people with MND to take tours of researcher’s labs and provided us with useful feedback to improved interactions between people with MND and researchers.
Our LEARN drop in coffee afternoon sessions, allow people with MND and supporters to meet and engage with local MND researchers, to learn more about their work. Our belief is that the input and viewpoints of those with lived experience should help to guide research. Building relationships between those with lived experience and researchers can help to make sure that research reflects the needs of people with or affected by MND.
We are organising local events in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen, bringing together people affected by MND and local MND Scotland researchers. The purpose of these meetings is to form relationships, encouraging researchers to get to know the people behind the diagnosis.
