THE Hospital Research Foundation Group’s Parkinson’s nurse specialist team is heading to Yorke Peninsula from August 21 to 23.

The nurses are offering free one-on-one nursing and follow-up appointments to people living with Parkinson’s Disease in the area.

“Our dedicated Parkinson’s nurse specialists are available to support clients with advice, education and information on lifestyle modifications, medication management and other interventions which will help you live well with Parkinson’s,” a HRFG spokesperson said.

“During their initial visit, our nurses will conduct a meticulous and holistic assessment, serving as the foundation for ongoing personalised care. 

“Together with you, they will develop an individualised care plan which aligns with your specific needs and aspirations, ensuring you receive the best possible support on your journey.

“Collaborating closely with a multi-disciplinary team of experts and in partnership with neurologists, geriatricians, and GPs, our nurses work in synergy to grant you early access to health services, thereby enhancing your overall quality of life.”

Common Parkinson’s symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement, speech and swallowing difficulties, falls, mobility challenges, sleep issues, pain management, mood, continence concerns and medication management can all be effectively addressed with the support of a dedicated Parkinson’s nurse.
