The World Parkinson’s Coalition are running a series of Webinars next week - Tuesday 30 September to Thursday 2 October.

On Thursday 2 October he will be joined by two other brilliant Parkinson’s UK funded researchers – Dr Roger Barker, University of Cambridge and Professor Ray Chaudhuri,  Kings College London.

Participants will be able to engage with speakers and ask questions in real time.

Topics include:

Note also that you can watch the talks AFTER the date because they are all going to be archived and made accessible. 

This means that a group could watch selected talks whenever they want.  It could form the focus of a research event provided you had an internet connection and a projector or big telly to show the talk on.

(I don't know yet whether you would be able to download the video for a talk onto a memory stick so that you didn't then need an Internet connection in the place where you watch the talk.)

The webonars are now in full flow and I have discovered that you can watch immediately the ones that have passed.  So there is no waiting for the recordings to be put up - they are efficiently putting them up very soon after the session!
