Why are Asian people with PD more likely to get dyskinesia & freezing? Why are black people more likely to have slow movement & dementia? We dont know, mainly cos these groups are under represented in research. Whatever your age, gender or ethnicity #Parkinsons Research Needs You
If Parkinson’s research is going to benefit everyone, we need everyone to be included. Read how Anita and Toussaint are sharing their experiences and finding community through the Research Support Network. Read more 👉🏼 bit.ly/3V13YuV #ParkinsonsResearchNeedsYou

Sarcasm alert. Not satisfied with the level of inaccessibility of the city last year, we’ve clearly decided to add to the challenge by placing temporary HVM behind half finished permanent HVM, & put it on the foot path leaving less than minimum width. #TakingTheDis #PurplePound

We are sad to hear @The_HCPC are increasing their fees - often those of us with lived experiences of disability's and or long term health conditions work part time, however there is not an option to pay less if you earn less. This is discrimination.
