A Parkinson’s UK survey has revealed that over two fifths (42%) of parents worry that their levels of physical activity are setting a bad example to their children.

A new study that aims to increase understanding of cell death in Parkinson’s has benefited from a £6 million (7 million euro) boost from the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI).

The findings mark the launch of Parkinson's UK's campaign about freezing, a little-known symptom of Parkinson's that often strikes in crowded, public spaces.
