Abstract
"This is an article from the US that considers the role of Neurologists in the management of Parkinson's. The findings, whilst interesting, are less relevant for us in the UK due to differences in the way that our healthcare is delivered. For example, our guidelines from NICE state that all individuals with suspected Parkinson's should be referred untreated to a neurologist or doctor with a special interest in movement disorders. Therefore the aim is that all patients with Parkinson's are seen by an expert early on, who can then make subsequent management decisions."
Welcome to the blog for the PREDICT-PD project. We are working to understand the risk factors for Parkinson's Disease and blogging about advances made in prediction and early detection of the disease.
