2010 Parkinson's Audit

We will use the results of the audit to campaign for equal access to essential services for people with Parkinson's.

Geriatricians, neurologists and Parkinson's nurses are helping us improve services for people with Parkinson's by taking part in our 2010 Parkinson's Audit.

Our audit is monitoring the initial services and treatment for people with Parkinson's who visit participating clinics between July and November this year.

Every clinic taking part will receive an analysis of their own data and how this compares with other anonymised centres early next year.

We will use the results of the audit to campaign for equal access to essential services for people with Parkinson's. The full report will be available in May 2011.

Improving services for people with Parkinson's

NursesThe results of the audit will help local clinics to:

  • compare their local Parkinson's service against the NICE audit criteria
  • benchmark their service against other Parkinson's services across the UK
  • highlight the strengths and weaknesses of their current service
  • put in place an action plan to improve the local services
