Care Management Services

Gordon McClurg

Gordon (28) was born in Belfast and, aged three, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Throughout this muscle wasting disorder,Gordon has focussed on leading a normal active family life. This has taken him through 14 years of mainstream education and four years of a Business Degree at the University of Northumbria from which he graduated with Honours in 2001. Along the way he has encountered many obstacles to living a normal life and has developed his own techniques for overcoming them. He now lives independently in a purpose designed bungalow with continuous care support from his own team of personal care assistants. Although Gordon has severe physical limitations, he leads an active professional & social life and has now established Care Management Services to provide advice, support and Care Services to other young disabled people who wish to live independently.
