This interactive guide, developed using feedback from Excellence Network members, looks at how you can prevent unnecessary hospital admissions for people with Parkinson's.

These Quick Reference Cards (UK) are for a physiotherapist to use when working with people with Parkinson's. They show how to take a patient's history, do a physical examination, and plan and carry out physiotherapy treatment.

This questionnaire assesses how often people with Parkinson's experience difficulties across 8 dimensions of daily living.

This scale evaluates the involuntary movements that can be associated with long term treatment with dopaminergic medication.

The rating scale allows clinicians to evaluate the level of dystonia experienced by people affected by Parkinson's.

This rating scale enables health and social care professionals to quantify the level of sleep disruption in order to determine treatment.

This rating scale can be used to assess levels of fatigue and measure any changes that treatment or lifestyle changes may effect.

These data dashboards have been developed by the Parkinson’s Excellence Network in partnership with Wilmington Healthcare. They provide a snapshot of hospital episode data trends and number of people with Parkinson's in different areas.

We worked with people with Parkinson's, expert physiotherapists and exercise professionals to produce a Parkinson's exercise framework.

This consensus statement, along with its supporting checklist, case for service change and audit appendices, outlines the key medicines management issues that may face people with Parkinson's who are admitted to hospital. This includes the need to get their medication on time. It also highlights ways to manage these effectively.
