A new generation of Parkinson’s nurses

Our campaign to support more nurses to specialise in Parkinson’s is stepping up! Read on to see what's in store and to find out more about our support for nurses looking to progress their careers.

Earlier this month, we attended the RCNi Nursing Careers fair in London and the Nursing Times Careers Plus event in Manchester. We got to meet many nurses looking to progress their careers and spoke to them about all the support we offer as a network. But we're not done yet.

Keep an eye out for us

We’ll be at Nursing Live in Birmingham in November, and you’ll see us on billboards across the UK soon. 

You can also watch our new short film featuring Becky, who talks about her journey to becoming a Parkinson’s nurse. Share it with anyone interested in pursuing a specialism in Parkinson's.

If you work with nurses who are looking for a specialism or considering a career as a Parkinson’s nurse, share these opportunities to learn more and tell them about the support we offer. 

Inside the journey of a Parkinson's nurse

Hear from Rebecca Heslop, a Parkinson's nurse, as she shares her journey into the profession and details what the job entails.

Our dedicated webpage on how to become a Parkinson's nurse gives you more information about:

  • what skills are needed for the role
  • how to find Parkinson's nurse jobs
  • the support we offer.
