The North of Scotland Parkinson’s Research Interest Group (NoSPRIG) is part of a nationwide network of research groups supporting Parkinson’s UK by increasing awareness and involvement in research at a regional level. They comprise of people with Parkinson’s Disease, carers, health professionals, scientists, and interested volunteers.
They have developed a series of podcasts with the aim to focus on Parkinson’s research from a Scottish perspective and highlight some of the work being done here to find out more about the mechanisms of this complex disease and ways of making life better for those living with it.
This latest podcast has more of a qualitative research base, and focuses on the subject of self-management in Parkinson’s. It tries to find out what this can mean for different people and what research tells us about it.
The guests are Dr Bhanu Ramaswamy OBE (Independent Physiotherapy Consultant and Honorary Visiting Fellow, Sheffield Hallam University) and Dr Alison Williams (Person with Parkinson’s, Academic, Artist and Parkinson’s Public Speaker, and Branch volunteer).
