Our Research

People living with Parkinson's can face many different types of challenges that extend beyond medical symptoms. Mental wellbeing, social connections, stigma, physical activity, gender, culture and access to support can all influence wellbeing and quality of life. PD-Life brings together expertise from different disciplines to examine these broader influences and identify opportunities to support people living well with Parkinson's.

Our research is informed by lived experience and shaped through collaboration with people affected by the condition. Whether you are living with Parkinson's, supporting someone who is, working in healthcare or conducting research, we invite you to explore the themes that make up PD-Life and discover how they contribute to improving quality of life across the island of Ireland.
