    In this blog, Consultant Neurologist Jane Alty, talks about a patient with Parkinson's who was cared for in their trust for a period of time, during which there were frequent occasions on which his Parkinson's medications were delayed or not given. This sadly contributed to a deterioration in his swallowing and overall condition, and lengthened his time in hospital.  Inspired by a letter from his wife, Jane and colleagues started the 'Improving care of patients with Parkinson’s quality improvement project' at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Here she talks about the journey, the successes and challenges, and the value of involving staff from across the organisation and carers to make services better.

    For the vast majority of people with Parkinson’s, medication is the only means of controlling their symptoms. If medication is not given in accordance to their routine, this may result in people being: unable to swallow (increasing the risk of aspiration) unable to speak and/or move (increasing their dependence on staff) At worst, Parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome (also called neuroleptic-like malignant syndrome) may develop which can be fatal. This statement from Parkinson's UK, aims to answer the question: For inpatients with Parkinson’s who need medication to manage their symptoms, what are the key issues that need to be addressed throughout their hospital admission and how can these be best managed? If it is possible that you will see an inpatient who has Parkinson’s, this statement is for you.
