Reflection exercise
Could you signpost a person newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease to local support groups for people with Parkinson’s disease and their families? Visit the Parkinson’s UK website and NHS Choices. Use these to create your local list. Patient access to carer support and social services may need a GP referral.
