Cutting Edge Science for Parkinson’s Clinicians 2026
Parkinson’s Academy invites you to the 9th annual scientific meeting designed to advance scientific insights for specialists working in Parkinson’s disease.
Location
Halifax Hall, Sheffield University Campus
Endcliffe Vale Road
Sheffield
S10 3ER
Delivered to leading Parkinson’s clinicians and multidisciplinary specialists, Cutting Edge Science for Parkinson’s Clinicians is designed to create space for ambitious, challenging conversation—where experts can test assumptions, interrogate the evidence, and leave with practical insight they can apply immediately in clinic.
The 2026 meeting brings together national and international leaders in Parkinson’s research and clinical care to explore what’s changing now—and what’s coming next—across the biological drivers of disease and the complex realities of day-to-day management. Through a tightly curated programme of expert talks and discussion, the meeting will unpack emerging science and translate it into clear clinical relevance, helping delegates navigate uncertainty and make confident decisions in practice.
This year’s programme will include sessions on:
- The neuropsychiatry of Parkinson’s
- Understanding and treating psychosis in Parkinson’s
- Genetics of “atypical” Parkinsonian disorders
- Gene therapies: how close are we to a breakthrough in neurological disorders?
- The immune system in Parkinson’s: what new models are teaching us about clinical disease
- Neuro-urology: early and late-stage assessment and management
- The gut–brain axis in Parkinson’s
Who is this meeting for?
The meeting is tailored for consultants, registrars, Parkinson’s specialist nurses, clinical pharmacists, and therapists working in movement disorder services.
