Good Plymouth representation from @livewellsw and @UHP_NHS at the National Neurology Transformation meeting in Birmingham. Lots of exciting ideas to make neurology care more responsive.

Research funded by @ParkinsonsUK found that Parkinson's nurses add value to the multidisciplinary team by:

💙 Providing expert counsel
💙 Being a conduit of care
💙 Nurturing teamwork and partnership
💙 Giving pharmacological support.

Very proud of our team @ParkinsonsUK who, after years of campaigning, have got national decision makers to recognise the importance of people with #Parkinson's getting their meds on time. We'll be working with the NHS to ensure this programme delivers real impact

[Livewell Southwest Parkinson’s Nurse Service @plymouthPDnurse]

Register online to see @livewellsw Parkinson’s nurse, Emma Edwards, talk about mental health and Parkinson’s, as well as UHP’s brilliant Neurologist @CamilleBCarroll talk about the latest research…. As well as other great speakers!

@RowanWathes Congratulations, great work and well deserved recognition

@plymouthPDnurse I always advise people to buy a pre payment certificate. It’s around £11 per month. Not ideal but better than £70pm

@TheNeuroAcademy Would have been very interested in attending this

[Parkinson's Europe 🌷 @ParkinsonsEU]

Is home-based care coming for people with #Parkinsons in the UK?

A new study led by Professor @CamilleBCarroll which saw people with #Parkinson's receive support in managing & monitoring their symptoms at home has had positive results.

@DrLindaDykes I’ve met many people who tell me that they’ve been having ‘ visions’ for years. If they’re trouble by them, I advise to reduce meds. If not, and sometimes ‘visions’ give them comfort, I watchful wait.
