Developing a thinking and memory test for people with Parkinson’s

A PhD student is developing a thinking and memory test for people with Parkinson’s. Currently, there isn’t a test specifically designed to identify early and mild problems with these symptoms in Parkinson’s. 

Who

84 people without Parkinson’s who:

• live in Northern Ireland or the Republic of Ireland

• are 50 to 80 years old

Unfortunately, those who are currently seeing a healthcare professional for memory and thinking problems, or have been diagnosed with a neurological condition, such as dementia, are unable to take part. 

What

• Completing 2 paper screening surveys, which will take up to 10 minutes to complete. You'll be asked to post these to the researcher.

• If you are eligible to take part, you'll travel to your nearest study site to complete 2 tests. These tests will assess your thinking and memory and take 40 minutes to complete. 

• Travel expenses will be reimbursed
