LEARN Dingwall

MND Scotland is bringing our Lived Experience and Researcher (LEARN) events back to Dingwall in 2026!

Since 2024, we have invited people affected by MND and MND researchers to come together to share their experiences, knowledge, and research.  This year we will be returning to Dingwall with a more interactive, engaging schedule for people to discuss MND research, and, of course, enjoy some coffee, tea and biscuits.

MND Scotland has been working with Ross County FC to again welcome the MND community to the Global Energy Stadium for LEARN.

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.
