Parkinson's: Foundation modules for health and social care staff (Excellence Network)
These interactive modules will help all health and social care professionals increase their knowledge and understanding of Parkinson's. Let's improve our practice together.

All health and social care staff.
About the course
You will be able to read, watch and listen to multimedia resources on Parkinson's. These are broken down into different learning units.
You can log in at any time to this self-directed learning to work through the learning units at a pace that suits you. You can choose to complete all of the learning units or only some.
There are activities to complete at the end of each unit that will help you apply the knowledge you have gained. The course isn't assessed, but a certificate is available to download to self-certify participation.
If you complete all the learning units it will likely take a minimum of 10 hours, but you can go at your own pace.
