Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist Service

We are a community service that uses a patient-initiated follow-up reactive service.

We will help you make informed decisions about your care, so treatment is tailored to your individual needs.

Supporting you with Parkinson's and related conditions

We are a small specialist team that provides advice, treatment support, and ongoing management for people living with Parkinson's and related conditions.

We support people with:

• Parkinson's disease 
• multiple system atrophy
• progressive supranuclear palsy
• corticobasal degeneration
• other atypical parkinsonian conditions

As a small team, we aim to provide:

• safe, specialist advice 
• clear communication 
• support tailored to your individual needs
• some nurses also prescribe medication
