Join the Parkinson's Disease Specialist Pharmacy Network (PDSPN) in collaboration with PrescQIPP for an engaging webinar series dedicated to improving the care and management of people living with Parkinson’s.
In the UK, someone is diagnosed with Parkinson's every 20 minutes. Effective management is complex, requiring personalised care planning, management of motor and non-motor symptoms, medicine optimisation, and close collaboration across the multidisciplinary team to support quality of life.
This series will bring together expert speakers to share the latest evidence, practical strategies, and real-world experiences. Whether you are a pharmacist, pharmacy technician, nurse, GP or allied health professional, these sessions will enhance your knowledge and help you and your team deliver safe, coordinated, and person-centred care for people living with Parkinson’s.
The webinars are open to any healthcare professional involved in patient care.
Attendees who complete all four webinars (whether participating in the live events or having watched the recordings), can apply for a certificate of participation.
