Overview

Why Is It Important?

Parkinson’s Disease Care Training is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide effective care and support for patients with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that can cause tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, and other symptoms that can fluctuate throughout the day. 

Healthcare professionals must understand the importance of administering Parkinson’s medication on time, every time, to help manage the patient’s condition and ensure they receive the appropriate care while in a care facility. By receiving comprehensive training on Parkinson’s disease care, healthcare professionals can deliver personalised care and support that can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life.
