Can't Wait
People with Parkinson’s can’t wait. Can’t wait for appointments. For mental health support. For medication.
We need your help to make sure people with Parkinson's get the care they need. We’re starting with access to the right doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals.
We want NHS England to have a plan that allows people with Parkinson’s to access consultants, nurses, physiotherapists, mental health professionals, speech therapists and occupational therapists. And we’re calling on new local integrated care boards (ICBs) to do that.
Campaigners share their story
Campaigners in Birmingham showed their support for our Can't Wait campaign. They gathered at a mural in the city centre that highlights the urgency of the NHS workforce crisis.
Write to the health secretary and urge her to publish more detail on how people with Parkinson’s will see their access to healthcare improve.
