Parkinson's UK

We’re Parkinson’s UK, the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey. Every step of the way.

Parkinson’s is a complex condition that requires high quality health and care. Approximately 30,000 people don’t have access to that care.

That’s why we’re launching our Nurse Appeal. £36 could fund an hour of specialist care. Read more: https://t.co/ziiXXsz0UX

An all-female England Parkinson’s walking football team has become the first to compete at the Parkinson’s Walking Football Festival in Toronto.

Chris, a member of the team said, “To be invited to the very first walking football festival in Toronto has been a dream come true."

"Finding a little laughter can help to lighten the load."

Mark was inspired to turn his experiences into comedy, creating a booklet of scripts that explores Parkinson's with warmth and humour.

Rory ran 14 kilometers every day in July to raise money for the 14,000 people living with Parkinson's in Scotland!

“I hope to achieve greater recognition from anyone who saw my challenge and awareness of how common it is and how many people are affected.”

@sophia_sage_o We trust the experts to ensure this passes all necessary requirements for use in the UK. We are urging for everything possible to be done to make sure this process is as quick as it can be.

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

It is vital that new treatments like this are rapidly reviewed, approved and made available to people with Parkinson’s.

We have written to the health minister to urge him to speed up approval and use of this new drug.

Tavapadon has been approved in the US, but what does this mean for people with Parkinson’s in the UK?

Before it can become available here, it will need to go through the UK medicines approval process. Read more: https://t.co/ebVpLdHHCk

@sophia_sage_o Hi, thank you for getting in touch. The UK has a thorough drug approval process set by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), followed by additional checks by regulatory bodies in each of the 4 nations.

@sophia_sage_o Hi, thank you for getting in touch. We had lots of great insightful conversations at the party conferences and made sure the wants of the community were top of the agenda. We will be posting more information about our time at the party conferences soon so do keep an eye out.

[Parkinson's UK @ParkinsonsUK]

It's party conference season! So far, we've attended the Lib Dem and Labour conferences.

We've met with ministers, MPs and Councillors, raising what's important to the community and how they can make change.

We won’t stop pushing for real change for people with Parkinson’s.
