Delighted that this is officially published today!
✨️A significant number of people living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) live in care homes
✨️PD education for care home staff is a neglected area of research
✨️When education or training programmes on PD are provided to care home staff, the limited literature suggests they are successful in improving staff knowledge, staff confidence, and quality of care
✨️Future research should focus upon the design, implementation, and evaluation of robust, evidence-based, tailored educational programmes on PD for care home staff
