Parkinson’s Excellence Network: New time critical medication resources for health professionals launched

Three new resources have been launched by the Parkinson’s Excellence Network to support UK healthcare professionals in hospitals to improve the delivery of time critical medication for people with Parkinson’s: 

1. Self administration of Parkinson’s medication: a guide for hospital staff. This guide supports senior pharmacists and nurses who are working to develop a self administration policy or better utilise an existing policy to support the delivery of time critical medication. Read the guide.
2. Time critical medication patients' stories: in their own words. In these short films, people with Parkinson’s share their experiences of receiving their Parkinson's medication in hospital and how this impacted on their health and well being. These films have been developed to raise awareness and support education and training of health professionals. Watch Barrie and Margot’s films now.
3. Time critical medication: hospital awareness kit. This new collection of interactive posters, vibrant screensavers and social media graphics will help you to raise awareness of time critical Parkinson’s medication in your hospital. Access the toolkit.
