Specialist nurses like Gwen are a lifeline for the Parkinson’s community.
There is no cure for Parkinson’s, but with the right care and support, people can live well with the condition.
But thousands of people don’t have access to the care they need. Not enough health and care professionals understand the condition. And a lack of specialists means people can’t get the help they need, when they need it.
Since 1996, we’ve invested more than £15 million into funding, training and supporting Parkinson’s nurses. But with 1 in 5 people with Parkinson's with limited or no access to this support, and a third of Parkinson's nurses set to retire by 2030, more nurses and specialists are needed. That's why we've launched our Nurse Appeal.
