Just back from a consultation with S's #Parkinson's specialist nurse, and reminded of how valuable that service is and how important it is to make it readily available to all (we're lucky here, with excellent provision). Professional, friendly, fun, useful. Parkinson's UK Excellence Network

Doing our best to let people know about Parkinson's UK and our support available for those affected by #parkinsons - at Oxford Older People's Day in our Town Hall. Not often you get to run an exhibition stand inside a wedding cake.

Quite the constellation... Bas Bloem Dave Clark More Than a Tremor after their superb "living well with Parkinson's" podcast session. Tons of high-value information, life-affirming optimism, hope for a better future, calls to action. LOVED IT.

What an absolute privilege to have participated in the infamous Movers & Shakers podcast, in a pub in London. Wonderful discussions around optimal care for people with #Parkinson disease. And much more. The full content will be released within the next four weeks. Movers & Shakers: a podcast about Parkinson's

1/ Long-awaited results of Exenatide-PD3 study have been presented. In this crucial phase 3 study,Ā 194 participants received #exenatide (#GLP1 agonist tested for disease modification of #Parkinson) or placebo. To everyone's regret, no difference between both arms for all outcomes

Hello Parky Tech X, How can I change drag gesture sensitivity on an #Android phone? Asking for a PwP with mild dyskinesia. When trying to click/tap something, instead initiates a drag because fingertip slides after touching the screen. Accessibility settings don't help. Thanks!

#parkinsons X is still pretty civilised by comparison with much of the site, but is anyone considering a move to one of the challenger platforms? Or is it best to stay here where we already have a community, and sieve out all the ads and angst?
