Providing excellent care
We’re here to help health and care professionals understand Parkinson’s, so they have the support and knowledge they need to provide excellent care to people with Parkinson’s.
Parkinson’s is on the rise. In the UK today, someone is diagnosed every 20 minutes. By 2050, the number of people with Parkinson’s worldwide will double to 25 million.

“It has given me a greater awareness of how Parkinson’s impacts the person both mentally and physically, and I aim to adjust my practice to take this into account by giving more time for people we support to talk and for me to listen carefully and pick up on cues.” Carer participant.
Our online courses and resources are designed for you, with you. We collaborate with subject matter experts and people with lived experience to create learning that will help you better support your patients living with Parkinson’s.
