LEARN-Dundee

MND Scotland is bringing our Lived Experience and Researcher events back to Dundee in 2025!  

Last year, we invited people affected by MND and MND researchers to come together to share their experiences, knowledge, and research.  This year we will again have presentations from three local MND researchers with time for discussions in-between, and, of course, coffee, tea and biscuits.   

MND Scotland has been working with Dundee United FC, and together, we welcome our MND community to Tannadice Park for LEARN this year! The Club has kindly provided us with the Hegarty Suite to host the event. 

LEARN events are free to attend. We would greatly appreciate it if you could register your interest in attending via the registration form below (so we can make sure we order enough refreshments for everyone!). Full information about the event and venue can be found below. 

Last year Dundee was our most well attended event. We look forward to seeing you all again this year.
