Cutting Edge Science for Parkinson’s Clinicians 2025
Parkinson’s Academy invites you to the 8th annual scientific meeting designed to advance scientific insights for specialists working in Parkinson’s disease.
This is a virtual meeting, information on how to register can be found below.
This acclaimed annual meeting challenges assumptions and questions the status quo. Together with world-class experts, we will explore where the evidence lies, where it doesn’t – and what that means in real-world clinical practice. Expect insightful discussion, practical takeaways, and new thinking that will transform how you support your patients.
This year’s programme will tackle key topics, including:
Prodromal Parkinson’s – what do we know and does knowing help?
Gene testing for the clinician – who, what and why?
Towards better diagnosis – how to make the best use of imaging
Neuroprotection – what can we do now and what can we expect soon?
Infusion therapies – how to select, what to use and how to use it
DBS – what's new in the field and when should we refer?
Botulinum toxin in the Movement Disorder clinic – practical use without overwhelming your service
