Quick Reference Cards (UK) for physiotherapists

Quick Reference Cards (UK) and Guidance NotesThe Quick Reference Cards (UK) provide standardised guidance for physiotherapists working with people with Parkinson's.

The cards directly support clinical practice at any stage of Parkinson's in the clinic, on the ward or in the community.

We've developed the cards with AGILE (Chartered Physiotherapists working with Older People) and ACPIN (Association of Chartered Physiotherapists Interested in Neurology).

The guidance is based on that developed by the Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy in 2004.
