Get involved in research
We're chasing down new treatments and a cure, but we can't do it without you. Find out how you can get involved in research and help us power breakthroughs.
Everyone can play a part in the search for a cure for Parkinson's. The more people who get involved, the faster we'll get there.
Our Research Support Network (RSN) brings together people driven to help find a cure and better treatments for Parkinson’s.
Whether you have Parkinson's or not, there are many ways to get involved. Join the network today to:
- get connected to research and the scientist carrying it out
- take part in clinical trials and studies
- have your say on what research is needed and how it's done.
If you have any questions, get in touch at [email protected] or call 020 7963 9398.
Join us for Par-Con 2024!

Parkinson's Research Needs You
The Parkinson’s UK Research Support Network is a community of people who are helping us get to new treatments for Parkinson's, faster. But we need you.
Hear from Research Support Network members about why they joined, and what the community means to them, on our research blog.
What's on offer through the network?
Opportunities to take part in local research. From trialling new treatments to filling in surveys from the comfort of your own home, there is something to suit everyone.
People with Parkinson's are the experts on the condition and we make sure their voices are heard in research. Discover your role in developing truly transformational new treatments.
Join us in person or online to find out about Parkinson's research and meet the scientists working to deliver new and better treatments.
Our research interest groups are made up of people with Parkinson's, their families, friends and carers, and researchers. They're a great place to find out about the latest developments and ways to get involved.
Other ways to support research
Will you help us take the next step towards a future treatment that could slow or stop Parkinson’s by donating today?
The Brain Bank allows people with and without Parkinson's to leave their brains to Parkinson's research.
