The importance of carers in support for people with Parkinson’s – Claire Ballinger and Ali Rowsell

Around one in 500 people has Parkinson’s, a condition affecting movement, and sometimes also causing pain, tiredness and low mood.  There is currently no cure; however drugs and rehabilitation therapies can help to relieve the symptoms.  Although not the same for everyone, Parkinson’s is progressive, and in the later stages, people often require additional help.
