New DVDs show importance of getting Parkinson's drugs on time
20 July 2010
As part of our 'Get it on time'
campaign, we've produced new DVDs to help hospital and care
home staff understand why the timing of Parkinson's drugs is so crucial for people with
Parkinson's.
It's vital that all professionals working with people with Parkinson's are aware of the consequences of delays with Parkinson's medication.

The DVDs give a vital insight into Parkinson's and how hospital
and care home staff can help people with the condition.
If people with Parkinson's don't get their medication on time,
the consequences can be very serious.
