All recommendations have been based on the International DMD Care Considerations 2018 published in the Lancet Neurology: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 but are more specific and relevant for the UK healthcare system.
We also offer accessible versions of the recommendations for patients and families . Please fill out this form to order printed copies for your care centre.
