About me
I lead our policy and campaigning work at Parkinson's UK. Patient safety is a key focus for our work due to the importance of timely medication administration and the problems people with the condition face when they are an inpatient in hospital or or in a care home. Our Get It On Time campaign seeks to empower patients and educate professionals on the role they can play in ensuring people with the condition get their medication on time, every time.
