Parkinson’s. There isn’t one journey. There isn’t one ‘day in the life’.

This #WorldParkinsonsDay , we’re shining a light on the daily lives of people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones. The good. The bad. The funny. The sad. The ons. The offs. And everything in between.

💙

On #WorldParkinsonsDay , explore how SLTs are pivotal in Parkinson's care with RCSLT 💙. Delve into our resources to understand the impact of speech and language therapy.
