Exploring how people in Ireland view Parkinson’s
A PhD student from Queen’s University Belfast is exploring how people view and understand Parkinson’s in Ireland. They want to hear from people with Parkinson’s, their carers and healthcare professionals who specialise in Parkinson’s. This information will be used to identify areas for public education to raise awareness of Parkinson’s in Ireland.

• 8 healthcare professionals who specialise in Parkinson’s to take part in a focus group
• Everyone who takes part must live in Ireland
For people with Parkinson’s
