No Diagnosis Without Support: Optimal pathway for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's

Designed to help you support your newly diagnosed patients

Developing your support pathway for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's takes resources. But by acting early, you can:

• reduce avoidable complications
• lower unnecessary anxiety 
• ease reliance on the NHS 
• target your support to the people who need it most.

We’ve worked with clinicians and people with Parkinson’s to create an optimal support pathway based on UK best practice. Together, we can help you transform your service and deliver better care right from diagnosis.

We know not every service is ready with the resources and capacity to roll out this pathway right now. Care also varies across the UK nations, so adoption needs to fit local needs.

Our guidance is intended to be aspirational and to help you build and improve your service. To explore how we can support your Parkinson's pathway, email [email protected].
