On-demand Parkinson's Foundation MasterClass
The Parkinson's Foundation MasterClass is specifically designed to give participants a solid grounding in the knowledge and skills they need to practice in this clinical area. This year, as a response to both your continued interest in specialist education and the challenges wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, we are providing our first full MasterClass virtually and on demand. With over 17 years of experience delivering Parkinsons Education, we bring you a new way to learn.
Who is this course for?
It is suitable for anyone looking to improve their understanding of Parkinson's - its diagnosis, management, and treatment. It is particularly appropriate for non-final year registrars, old age psychiatry registrars, Parkinson’s nurses within the first 18 months of post, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, pharmacists, clinical fellows, and clinical lecturers and GPwER.
This course is now for international applicants only. If you are a healthcare professional working in the UK, please register for our live Foundation MasterClass 41 in October.
Once your application is approved you will have access to a range of pre-course reading. The course is comprised of 12 sessions totalling 14 hours of learning that can be accessed on demand at a time to suit you. Upon completion of all sessions you will also receive a certificate to add to your portfolio.
