Revised Guidance for Support Group Documentation
Updated Support Group Manual for Parkinson's NSW Under Development
Parkinson's NSW has commenced work on an update to their Support Group Manual. A release date for the revised manual has been set for July, following a comprehensive review by representatives of Support Groups and the Parkinson's NSW Leadership Team.
The revisions will incorporate the most recent alterations to laws and regulations within the Not For Profit sector, as well as essential procedures and information necessary for the operation of a Parkinson's NSW Support Group.
The updated manual will emphasize various factors affecting the absorption of Parkinson's medications, including dietary choices, constipation, and medications for other conditions.
Researchers from McGill University in Canada are currently examining a new drug molecule that could potentially reactivate housekeeping functions within the brain cells of young Parkinson's patients.
The average caregiver for someone with Parkinson's disease provides more than 30 hours of unpaid care per week. For the latest information regarding Parkinson's NSW publications, please check their official website or contact them directly.
