The primary goal of the Guidelines section of WMS is to optimise the implementation of best care practices for neuromuscular disorders worldwide. The guidelines section aims to serve as a central resource for the dissemination of clinical/preclinical guidelines and consensus statements in neuromuscular disorders. We strive to identify knowledge gaps or areas of high clinical practice variability and to partner with other professional societies globally to develop practice guidelines. For any enquiries, please feel free to write us on guidelines@worldmusclesociety.org
