Parkinson's Foundation 7: on-demand

Overview:

This course will provide a strong grounding in the diagnosis, treatment and management of Parkinson’s. Designed and delivered by eminent specialists across a range of healthcare disciplines, the programme combines frontline clinical experience, the latest evidence and cutting-edge research. Sessions will explore the underlying science of Parkinson’s, diagnostic approaches and differential diagnoses, treatment options and the management of complex needs, including inpatient care, swallowing difficulties and multidisciplinary support. The programme will also consider palliative care, neuropsychiatry and the lived experience of people with Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia.

Our Parkinson's Foundation MasterClass has been running in-person for 24 years. Whilst missing the connectivity of face-to-face learning, this virtual on demand version opens up the learning opportunity to those for whom travel or study leave is a barrier. If you are unable to attend an in-person course, yet are keen to improve your personal practice and enhance your local services, sign up now.

Who is this course for?

This course is ideal for anyone looking to improve their understanding of Parkinson's and perfectly suited to the whole multidisciplinary team, particularly those in the early years of their practice or new to Parkinson's.

Whether you're a registrar or early-career consultant, specialist nurse, therapist, pharmacist or other allied healthcare professional, if you're keen to improve your practice and your patient's experiences, you'll find this education beneficial.

How is the course taught?

The fully virtual course is accessed in the delegates' own time via our designated online learning portal. The 13 virtual sessions and additional resources are all available at once, meaning you can give yourself a solid weekend of learning or spread the course out over weeks or even months, if needed. You can choose the access that optimises your learning experience and fits with your other commitments. You also have the opportunity to complete a short case study assessment to test your knowledge at the end of the course.

When you finish the course, you will receive a certificate of completion to add to your portfolio.

Estimated time to complete the course:

With approximately 12 hours of video sessions plus further reading, we anticipate this course to take 2-3 days to complete.
