Information sheets


Information sheetsThe Parkinson's Disease Society publishes a range of information sheets on aspects of Parkinson's and related subjects.


All our information sheets are updated as soon as new information becomes available.

 

All the information sheets are available to download in PDF format or to order. To read the PDF files you need Adobe Acrobat Reader which you can download free of charge.

 

Each information sheet is also available in Microsoft Word format - this enables you to make the text as large as you need.
