Further details:

The current situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic causes a lot of strain and isolation on Huntington’s disease (HD) patients and their families.  All the restrictions imply big changes in daily life and the routines are hard to maintain.  We hear that families struggle, feel scared and isolated.

In order to support you in this situation, EHA and ERN-RND are organizing a webinar  on  Zoom with a panel of multi language HD experts from a variety of European countries well-known in the HD community and active members of the European HD Network (EHDN).

The webinar will give you information about the specific risks for HD patients, update on consequences for the ongoing HD studies and trials, and some advice on how to cope with this new situation. The experts are there to answer any question you have in your language.
