This integrated service was established in 2020 for people with Parkinson’s disease and related disorders and is a collaboration between the areas of neurology, gerontology and psychiatry. The service runs weekly consultant led clinics and is supported by a dedicated Parkinson’s disease nurse specialist phone line.
Effective pathways run between the service and the wider hospital. This includes the Robert Mayne Day Hospital, outpatient therapy services, the Falls and Syncope Unit, the Community Reablement Unit in Harold’s Cross, the Memory Service and also established links to integrated care services in patient’s homes.

The service has delivered a range of education, quality improvement and research initiatives and is governed by a multidisciplinary steering group.
