Judy Newton
In addition to being Scotland’s first Lead MND Nurse Consultant, Judy accepted the additional role of Anne Rowling Clinic Deputy Director, Clinic and Nurse Manager. This additional appointment will see Judy leading the delivery of clinical care and research to improve the lives of people with neurological conditions including multiple sclerosis, motor neuron disease, Parkinson’s, and dementias.
Having trained as a Registered General Nurse in Glasgow in 1988, Judy’s career led straight to that of neuroscience nursing. Judy’s first MND post was that of an MND Clinical Nurse Specialist for the South East of Scotland in 1998. Judy completed a Master’s Degree in Cognitive Assessment in MND, and following the announcement to double the number of MND nurses in Scotland, was appointed to the newly created post of MND Nurse Consultant in 2016, funded by the Scottish Government, MND Scotland, and the University of Edinburgh.
