The Parkinson’s Queensland Health Professionals Map is a resource created by us, designed to assist you and patients with Parkinson’s alike. The resource can be used by patients to locate a health care practitioner in their area, and it is a useful tool for health professionals wishing to add to their network, or searching for a service or specialist to refer a patient to. Please contact the Parkinson’s Queensland Office on 07 3209 1588 to find out more, or if you are a health professional who wishes to be considered for inclusion in the resource.

The Parkinson’s Specialist Nurse Educator (PSNE) is a specialist resource of knowledge of Parkinson’s Disease. They build awareness and provide information, support and education to people with Parkinson’s, carers, their families, health professionals, aged care providers, researchers and the broader community throughout Queensland.

The PSNE provides information on a range of Parkinson’s related topics including but not limited to;
• Parkinson’s Disease basics
• Key steps and considerations for the newly diagnosed
• Information and education on medication management
• Symptom management
• How to care for someone with Parkinson’s
• Managing disease progression.

With around 2,000 Queenslanders diagnosed with Parkinson’s each year, and the thousands already living with the condition, the PSNE plays a vital role in supporting those impacted.
