“As an ex nurse of 35 years working with quite a lot of Parkinson’s patients, I was alarmed that a lot of nurses know nothing at all about Parkinson’s. Healthcare assistants, they haven’t got a clue. Educating them, then watching them respond to patients who flourish was fantastic.
I wish this...”Read full review »

The proverbial cat is now out and everyone I know will be told.
