Parkinson’s Disease Movement Disorder Nurse Specialist Demographic Survey 2021

Abstract

Abstract Parkinson’s disease is a common neurological condition. Patients benefit from patient centred care provided by a Parkinson’s disease or movement disorder nurse specialist. This study is the second in a series of annually recurring publications to progressively monitor the growth and development of the PDMDNS profession in Australia. Results will firstly; provide evidence to support the PDMDNS professional body in Australia to advocate for adequate resources, sufficient training and appropriate levels of qualifications and pay grades, secondly; assist in identifying gaps in the provision of services to people living with PD.
