Hi, 

I apologize for posting this twice - I think I posted it in the wrong place earlier.

We hope you are well. I'm hoping to let you know about the medical buddy scheme for people with acute neurological injuries. It aims to pair you up with a medical professional on a 1:1 basis e.g. a doctor with whom you can discuss your care needs, disease biology or understanding of anatomy e.g. nervous system. 

You liaise with your medical buddy via telephone/messaging services. It is a service provided by volunteers and is free. It aims to help you understand the biology of your injuries, provide a listening ear and answer your questions which you may find difficult. 

The volunteer medical buddies will provide you with impartial advice and we highlight local NHS/charitable services. 

The website address is:

    Hi @Medicalbuddy :) Welcome to the community!

    Thanks for posting about the scheme. I've sent you an email from community@scope.org.uk, would you be able to take a look when you get a moment? I've also removed your duplicate post.
