On-demand Parkinson’s Advanced MasterClass 1

This year, after almost two decades of experience in Parkinson's education, we are making our Foundation and Advanced Parkinson's MasterClasses available to an international audience!

Designed to provide a strong grounding in Parkinson's diagnosis, treatment and management, these courses draw on a mixture of frontline experience, the latest evidence bases and cutting edge research. Designed and delivered by eminent Parkinson's specialists across health disciplines, it is an ideal course for consultants, specialist nurses, therapists, pharmacists and other allied healthcare professionals keen to improve their practice and their patient's experiences.

The Parkinson's Advanced MasterClass is specifically designed to further the knowledge and skillset of those who already have an understanding of Parkinson's diagnosis, treatment and management. The practical, in-depth and case-based learning will move participants from 'knowledgeable' to 'expert'.

This year, in response to healthcare professionals' continued interest in specialist education and the challenges wrought by the coronavirus pandemic, we are providing our full Advanced MasterClass both virtually and on demand. With over 20 years of experience delivering Parkinson's education, we now bring you a new way to learn.

Led by co-founder and academic director Dr Peter Fletcher, the Academy has a truly collegiate feel and prides itself on delivering 'the things you can't get from the books' – a practical learning model which inspires our MasterClasses.

With detailed complex case study-led discussions, a delve into data use and a session on service modelling, delegates are equipped to put their learning into practice, further encouraged through the plethora of workplace project poster write-ups available in our resources section.

The fully virtual course is accessed in the delegates' own time via our designated online learning portal.
