Registration for the 2012 National Parkinson's Audit is now open.

Participants can register online to take part in the audit and help provide better services for people with Parkinson's.

We're looking for neurologists, geriatricians, speech and language therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and Parkinson's nurses to take part.

The audit lasts for 5 months, from 1 July to 30 November 2012.

After the audit has been completed, participants will be sent a full report helping them to:

• evaluate their Parkinson's service against the NICE guideline and National Service Framework for long-term neurological conditions
• compare their Parkinson's service to others around the UK
• highlight strengths and weaknesses in the current service
• develop an action plan to improve services

Our audit is recognised by the Department of Health - Quality Accounts Programme.
