We have put together an exciting and relevant programme. The morning includes a debate on whether PD MED will change practice, talks on falls, discussion on the management of PD in care homes and interesting cases. In the afternoon we aim to capture our collected expertise in discussion groups and formulate best practice guidelines for the geriatric giants in people with Parkinson’s disease. There will be plenty of time to network with colleagues and view posters and the exhibition.
