We aim to help people with Parkinson’s, their families and friends in Edinburgh and Lothians in any way we can.
We provide:
- Opportunities for members to meet, share experience and support each other.
- Information about health and life style issues.
- Group activities.
We also represent local Parkinson’s interests to NHS Lothian and other agencies.
We want standards of care and medical facilities for Parkinson’s in Lothian to be the best.
