The Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist works closely with consultant neurologists and geriatricians to provide on-going care and monitoring for people with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s or a Parkinsonism.
They are part of the wider community nursing service in Guildford and Waverley working with patients, carers, GPs, therapists and other specialist nurses.
The service aims to optimise health and wellbeing for individuals through education, specialist advice, support and treatment to optimise health and wellbeing at home and to prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.

This includes patients living in their own homes or residential homes and nursing care homes.
Patients can self-refer or be referred by a GP, hospital consultant or another health & social care professional.
