News for professionals

We're so proud to share a snapshot of what we have achieved together as the Parkinson’s UK Excellence Network in 2024.

Registration for the 2025 UK Parkinson’s Audit, the recognised quality improvement tool for Parkinson's services, opens on Monday, 10 February 2025 until 21 March 2025.

Parkinson's Essentials online courses have been designed to give you as health and social care professionals an introduction to Parkinson's tailored especially to your field of work, supporting your continuing professional development.

Thousands of nurses apply for the Queen’s Nurse award but only 20 are awarded annually. This year 2 of the nurses have come from the same NHS Trust, Lincolnshire Community Health Services, and what is even more impressive is that they have come from the same team. 

Parkinson’s UK, via the Parkinson’s Excellence Network, and in collaboration with the British Geriatrics Society is offering a fully funded advanced clinical training fellowship in Parkinson’s and related movement disorders.

We're celebrating 35 years of Parkinson's nurses making a difference to the lives of people with Parkinson's. Read on to see how we’re marking this milestone.

Over the last few months, we have appointed 4 healthcare professionals as our new Clinical Leads, to support the Excellence Network’s goals of improving care for people with Parkinson’s.

The Parkinson's Excellence Network has 2 easy to use data tools that you can use to help inform and improve your Parkinson's service.

Patsy Cotton is the Chair of the Parkinson's Time Critical Medication Advisory Group. She is a former Parkinson's Nurse Consultant and former Excellence Network Clinical Lead for Innovation. In this blog, she gives an update on all of the latest time critical medication activity.
 

We're recruiting the consultancy services of 2 more Regional Clinical Leads to join the Excellence Network and lead their regional network in England.
