If you have Parkinson’s, it’s important to take your Parkinson’s medication within 30 minutes of the prescribed time. Even short delays can worsen your symptoms and put you at risk. Yet over half of people with Parkinson’s don’t get their medications on time, every time, in hospital.
In partnership with people with Parkinson’s and carers, Parkinson’s UK have created the Parkinson’s Away-From-Home Kit.
It’s a range of tools to help people with Parkinson’s, and those who love and care for them, advocate for their Parkinson’s medications on time, every time.
You never know when you might need to go into hospital, so it’s a good idea to prepare in case of an emergency stay. From medical alert cards and wristbands to checklists and in-depth guidance, you can create a kit that works for you.
Some of the tools can be downloaded and printed from home, while others can be ordered from the P-UK online shop.
