As the newly appointed Campaigns co-ordinator for this area, one of 10 similar positions around the country, I attended a campaigning workshop. Campaigning issues were explained and action plans were written. Part of the campaign teams vision is that people act locally. To this end a video was played which showed the workings of NHS England. It is an animation and very informative, although it is still very complex.

It explains why campaigning has to be done at the local level. This means meeting as many of these commissioning groups as possible to explain the specific problems associated with MND and hopefully getting them to sign the MND Charter.
