Welcome

Welcome to The Edinburgh Branch of the Parkinson's Disease Society of the UK. Our aim is to help people with PD (and their carers) who live in the Edinburgh and Lothian area in any way we can. We do this by providing Services - such as our Support Workers, and others detailed on this site; and events and activities which provide opportunities for members to meet. If you would like more information, to join, or if we can help in any way please email the Hon Secretary.
