Episode 13 – Healthcare challenges and barriers for women living with a muscle wasting condition

Our latest Muscles Matter podcast looks at the healthcare challenges and barriers that women living with a muscle wasting condition face, including misconceptions and insufficient understanding and knowledge. We look at how this affects both the mental and physical wellbeing of women, and what could be different. Taking part in this discussion, drawing on their own professional and personal experiences, are Mia Myers, who is undertaking a PhD in accessibility and women’s healthcare, and Louise Halling, a counsellor and psychotherapist, who has run therapeutic support groups for women. Both Amy and Louise live with a muscle wasting condition. Our host for this episode is Muscular Dystrophy UK Trustee Chloe Docker, who also lives with a muscle wasting condition.  Additional information (including information about the guest) Women’s Health in Focus: new event spotlights issues and challenges - Muscular Dystrophy UK
