Parkinson’s UK are offering any Parkinson’s researchers (basic and clinical) a free half-day training session to help you practically implement PPI in your research.

Take the opportunity to engage in a free morning workshop session on Patient Involvement and Parkinson’s disease. We encourage interaction with those suffering from the disease, carers, healthcare professionals and the general public to get involved, support ongoing case studies, establishing connections for future research. The workshop provides a great opportunity for anyone affected by the disease, including researchers, basic and clinical, to interact share and explore the many perspectives of the disease. Constructive contributions all help to guide future treatment of the disease itself, and provide support to sufferers, healthcare professionals, and carers. If you have an interest in research and or Parkinson’s, would like to meet researchers, patients, carers from the same or a different field, you are more than welcome.
