DescriptionDid you know that Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN) is regarded as one of the most painful disorders known to medicine? Despite that there are very few treatments that are effective, leading 1 in 4 with TN ending their lives to escape the pain. Join us for a free 1 hour webinar to learn about the condition. It’s an invisible disability that impacts the largest facial nerve, responsible for facial sensation but also for mouth movement. In this webinar Emma Marrison-Taylor will share her experience of living with TN for 5 years. She’ll be sharing what it feels like, how it impacts her daily life and what you can do to support people living with TN when they are your patients. GDC Outcomes A, C & D.
