Purpose of the module
By the end of this training module, you will be able to:
understand the MJD Foundation’s approach to work,

identify care techniques to treat and manage symptoms of MJD, and
demonstrate awareness of cultural aspects of care.

Face-to-face careworker training is also conducted by MJD Foundation staff, and you should attend a session when possible.
