Write a commentParkinson's UK are organising events to help them understand the issues that people with Parkinson's and their families and carers are facing.
How are Parkinson’s services in your area? Are you on a waiting list for services? Have you been affected by cuts in services? What improvements in services would make life better for you?
Thw six local priority events will be held across the province at the end of October and into November.
They want to hear about the NHS support that you receive, so that they can understand the issues that people with Parkinson’s, their families and unpaid carers are currently facing. This will help them to make the strongest possible case for improvements to the service.
