Our Engagement Network unites all kinds of people, groups and organisations, from all over Europe, to shape the future of how Parkinson's is managed, treated and maybe, one day, cured.
Who the network is for
It's for anyone who wants to be actively engaged in helping themselves, or others, improve life with Parkinson's. You may be a person with Parkinson's interested to hear about physical activities or new cutting edge research in which to take part, or perhaps you are a healthcare professional who needs to know of new education opportunities so you can better help Parkinson's patients. You could be an organisation developing a promising new medication or appliance to help manage the condition, and learning from the Parkinson's community will improve it. Either way, you all have one thing in common: helping people with Parkinson's live their best life. Parkinson's Europe wants to join the dots by introducing you to each other, and to the information and opportunities that will help you achieve this.
Network members – Individuals who have an interest in actively changing the Parkinson’s landscape
Network stakeholders – Organisations or groups who would like to share ‘doing’ opportunities with the Parkinson’s community
