The PD team also offers support to PD patients who are inpatients and provide specialist advice to the ward staff involved in their care.
The PD team works closely with other members of the multi-disciplinary team including Specialist Pharmacists, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists and the Speech and Language Department. At your clinic visit your specialist will identify and refer you to the aforementioned services if required.
We also have strong links with voluntary organisations including Parkinson’s UK and Age UK. There are also opportunities for our PD patients to be involved in research studies which the PD nurses will facilitate.
