Findings of the first ever audit of Parkinson’s disease care in Ireland have now been published

Today, on World Parkinson’s day (Thursday 11^th April), the first ever national audit of Parkinson’s disease (PD) care in Ireland has been published by the Centre for Gerontology and Rehabilitation. It shows areas of good practice, along with many areas for improvement in specialist PD care.

The aim of this audit is to provide information on how well Movement Disorder services in Ireland are delivering timely, responsive and patient centred multi-disciplinary care to patients who have Parkinson’s disease. Eleven clinics across Ireland that provide Parkinson’s disease care were involved in the audit, with patient cases assessed to examine the type of care provided to those who have Parkinson’s disease.
