Organising your own event?
We deliver research talks to share the latest updates on Parkinson’s research, how we're driving forward better treatments and how you can get involved. Individual groups can request a member of our research team to join them in person or online.
Catch up on research talks
On 24 and 25 October, the Parkinson's community came together for Par-Con, our free, 2-day in-person and online convention, planned in collaboration with a team of people living with and affected by the condition.
Catch up with our webinar on hallucinations and delusions from 14 May 2025. You can hear more about what hallucinations and delusions are and how and why they may affect you. Plus tips to help you manage them.
We also cover 2 of our funded research trials, TOP HAT and CAN-PDP, which are testing new treatments for hallucinations and delusions, and how you can take part. The CAN-PDP trial is no longer recruiting participants.
On World Parkinson’s Day 2025, we hosted our very first online research ‘taster session.' We spotlight some exciting research projects, show how research is helping people to live well with Parkinson’s, and how and why people are getting involved in research.
We invite you to listen to the North of Scotland Research Interest Group’s podcast, featuring interviews with Parkinson’s researchers active across Scotland.
Each episode lasts approximately 30 minutes, and new interviews are added monthly.
You can listen to each episode by following the links on the group’s PodBean webpage.

Par-Con is your annual Parkinson’s community convention about living well with Parkinson’s, giving you the chance to join talks, activities and connect with others.
