Discover our Foundation Programme: essential Parkinson’s skills for health professionals
We’ve launched a refreshed and more in depth Foundation Programme designed for health and care professionals.
Our Foundation Programme covers a range of Parkinson’s-related topics, including symptoms, medication and treatment, and effective communication strategies. It also guides you to the services, resources, and information available from Parkinson’s UK and our Excellence Network.
The programme consists of 8 free online courses. Each of these:
- takes approximately 30 minutes to complete
- can be taken as a standalone module or as part of the complete programme
- has been developed in collaboration with subject matter experts, including people with lived experience of Parkinson’s.
Our courses are comprehensive and practical, ultimately improving your practice in supporting people with Parkinson’s.
“Thank you for providing these online courses, which have proven to be extremely beneficial since starting my role as a Parkinson's nurse. I shall continue to refer back to these on a regular basis.”
