When I was first diagnosed, I found it difficult to treat a patient with #Parkinsons as I didn’t want to see how I might progress with time.

I now see that I have a unique responsibility to ensure that they are looked after as best as they can be in all UK ED’s

[Jonny Acheson @jonny_acheson]

It’s been a dream since being diagnosed myself back in 2016 to increase the quality of care for people arriving to Emergency Departments who are living with #Parkinsons

33 ED’s have signed up in the first 24 hrs.

Do you experience anxiety as a symptom of Parkinson's?

Researchers at @ucl need 22 people with #Parkinsons to fill in an online survey, to help them get a better idea of the challenges and how to overcome them.

Thank you @RoyalOsteoSoc for working with us on raising the important issue. Ppl with #Parkinson's are more than 2x as likely to have osteoporosis & fractures than those without P. See here for more info and what to do: https://t.co/Pn3oYCqZPY @ParkinsonsEN @ParkinsonsENEx

Nearly 10 million worldwide with Parkinson's and only ~14000 have viewed this paper on the @WHO priorities on this disease. Six Action Steps to Address Global Disparities in Parkinson Disease: A World Health Organization Priority. Check it out @JAMANeuro and spread the word. We need cohesion coming out of @WorldPDCongress @PdAvengers @ParkinsonDotOrg @MichaelJFoxOrg
