Parkinson's in Parliament

We work proactively to ensure that MPs and Peers understand the issues affecting people with Parkinson's and their carers and how they can make sure policy reflects their needs.

2012 party conferences

John Whittingdale OBE MP with Derek Martin of our Maldon Branch We'll be at the 3 major UK party conferences in September and October to speak to politicians about what they can do to help us improve the lives of people affected by Parkinson's.

We will highlight the raw deal people with Parkinson's are getting in welfare, social care and health because the condition is not understood properly.
