Thrilled that our Home Based Care Pathway won Best poster award at @BGSMDS. The PD Team in Plymouth felt strongly that this would only work if people with Parkinson’s were partners in this re-design. @ParkinsonsHBCP @UHP_Parkinsons @livewellsw #corevalues

Telemedicine is already in use in some remote parts of the UK. Could we make more use of it support people w Parkinson’s that are housebound or in care homes?
