Aims

We aim to make quality of life assessment a routine and explicit consideration in care, management and clinical research in Huntington’s disease. This aim is strategically supported by a varied and enthusiastic international group of individuals from the breadth of the HD landscape, including patients, families, lay organisations, researchers, clinicians and care providers.

  • Developing appropriate assessment tools to measure and chart quality of life in patients and carers.
  • Creating an online care and management resource for the Huntington’s journey.
