Thank you to everyone who came along to the FND peer support group last Saturday. It was a really positive session, with some great conversations and even a few good laughs along the way.

Bella the assistance dog made an appearance and, despite her very convincing pleading eyes, she did not manage to get any cheese from me..... Okay maybe just a little bit!!

It was also lovely to have Alison from Active Rehab join us for the session.

We’ll be taking a short break over April due to the number of school and public holidays, but we look forward to seeing you all again in May.

The University of Sydney are conducting a study to evaluate the validity and reliability of a rapid diet quality screener in adults with spinal cord injury. Although diet quality tools are widely used in health research, they have never been formally tested in this population despite the importance of nutrition for health and wellbeing.

What is the rPDQS?

The Rapid Diet Quality Screener (RPDQS) is a short, easy‑to‑complete questionnaire (takes less than 5 minutes) that provides a quick snapshot of someone’s overall eating habits. Instead of tracking every food one eats, it asks a few simple questions about their usual intake of key foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and discretionary items to estimate general diet quality.

What the study involves

✨Completing online surveys
✨Receiving a gift voucher as a thank you for completing them

Why this research matters

This study will determine whether a quick, food‑based diet quality screener can accurately and consistently assess dietary patterns in people with spinal cord injury. Establishing its suitability may support better nutrition monitoring and more targeted interventions in clinical, rehabilitation, and community settings.

Today is FND Awareness Day

Functional neurological disorder (FND) affects up to one-third of neurology patients, yet many are 'ping-ponged' between mental health and neurology, left without integrated care.

To mark Functional Neurological Disorder Awareness Day today, 25 March, we’re highlighting our member FND Australia Support Services (FND Aus). FND Aus is a lived-experience-led organisation working to improve understanding, research and care of this complex and highly misunderstood neurological condition. This work is vital, as awareness and research - while improving - have been hindered by outdated stigma linked to 'conversion disorders'.

Learn more from Dr Katherine Gill, FND Aus' founder, on how this small team is making a difference for Australians living with functional symptoms in our full story: https://buff.ly/tJpOyE0

RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY

Laura Graham: A postgraduate student and lived experience researcher at York St John University, York, UK is conducting a Master’s research project focused on Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

The study aims to explore physical activity levels, sedentary behaviour, and quality of life in adults diagnosed with FND. Data is collected by an anonymous, international online survey designed to be as concise and FND friendly as possible. Currently no research/data of this kind exists.

It is vital data for understanding how FND affects people’s day to day lives, so support and treatment can be shaped around real needs rather than assumptions and for giving people with FND a voice in research and helping professionals understand what life with FND is really like.

The survey is designed to be accessible, with clear language, minimal cognitive load, and the option to complete it at the participant’s own pace.
