Research Conference - 24 May 2012

Venue: Ark Centre, Basingstoke Hospital - view map

A generous donation from the Freemasons' Grand Charity has allowed our Berkshire and Hampshire branches to put on a conference 'Towards a cure: research into, and living with, Parkinson's'. The conference will be the official launch of the Research Support Network in the South.

The conference will have top researchers explaining their projects, what they have achieved so far and when they expect to see results. All places have been allocated on a first come first served basis to members of our local group network, but the day is being recorded for a DVD.

To register your interest in receiving a DVD, please email rm.south@parkinsons.org.uk with 'DVD' in the subject line.
