Official synopsis Publisher
Parkinson’s disease, first described by James Parkinson in 1817, is one of the most important disabling conditions of later life. It is estimated to affect one per cent of 70-year-olds, but is also seen in younger people, with ten per cent of cases occurring before the age of 50. Proper care of patients with Parkinson’s disease requires many different healthcare professionals to work together as a team and research into parkinsonism continues at an ever-increasing pace. Patients need to be reassured that those involved in their care have access to reliable information and that the treatment and care they receive is the best available. The aim of Fast Facts: Parkinson’s Disease is to provide doctors, nurses and therapists with the up-to-date information they require to improve the lives of their patients with Parkinson’s disease and its related disorders.
