Standards Of Care
The European Huntington’s Disease Network (EHDN) facilitate various working groups to encourage collaboration in advancing treatment and care for Huntington’s Disease. The Standards of Care Working Group aims to develop evidence based guidelines for best practice. This working group is comprised of clinicians and allied health professionals from various disciplines, such as dietitians, dentists and speech and language therapists both from Europe and the USA. All contributed their wealth of expertise and knowledge gained through working with HD patients and their families.
This collection address fundamental aspects of the clinical management of Huntington’s disease (HD), focusing on non-therapeutic interventions in order to promote uniformity and standardisation of care internationally. Ultimately it aims to add to the current knowledge on management of HD and would allow practitioners to make informed decisions regarding best patient care.
