The Academy including videos
The Parkinson's Academy provides a structured training programme for doctors, nurses and allied health professionals who want formal training in both the clinical and managerial aspects of running a ‘Parkinson’s service’.Training is provided through Parkinson’s MasterClasses - an innovative educational programme established by the Movement Disorders Section of the British Geriatrics Society (BGS).Currently there are two distinct MasterClass programmes for professionals wanting to advance their skills in Parkinson's:
- The Advanced MasterClass (previously the Classic) MasterClass advances understanding of and confidence in running a Parkinson’s service for doctors and specialist nurses.
- The Foundation MasterClass is specifically designed for those who are fairly new to Parkinson’s management like specialist registrars, newly appointed Parkinson’s nurses, pharmacists or therapists.
