Summer issue of Progress, our Parkinson's research magazine, out now

25 July 2012

Progress summer 2012 front coverThe summer 2012 issue of Progress, our Parkinson's research magazine, is now available to download or order.

As always, Progress is jam-packed with all the latest Parkinson's research news.

All Parkinson's UK members will receive a copy of Progress this week, together with the latest issue of The Parkinson, our membership magazine.

New treatments - what's in the pipeline for Parkinson's?

In this issue we take a peek inside the pipeline at what new drugs and treatments are currently being developed and tested for people with Parkinson's.

We explain how the clinical trials process works and discuss a whole range of potential treatments that are currently being investigated.

This includes stem cells, gene therapies and new drugs.

Shaped by your comments, ideas and suggestions

This issue of Progress has really been shaped by the feedback we received in response to the last issue.

85% of people told us they find Progress very interesting.

And 71% of people find the magazine easy to read.

We were delighted that so many people took the time to fill in an online survey to share their thoughts on the magazine and what they'd like to see in the future.

And the influence of this runs right through the latest issue of the magazine, including:

  • a new international research news round-up
  • our feature article - 'a peek inside the pipeline'
  • a selection of our favourite letters and comments

And we put your brain donation questions to Dr David Dexter from the Parkinson's UK Brain Bank.

Please keep your feedback coming

We'd love to know what you think of the new issue of Progress, and to hear your questions, ideas and suggestions for the next magazine.
