Everyone wears a mask in hospital but this one has an educational message about time critical #parkinsons medication. Looking forward to Monday morning. #getitontime #MedEd #MedTwitter

A very Merry Christmas. Thanks for the encouragement and support this year, it really helps. Living with #Parkinsons is a daily challenge, from the seen to the unseen that’s why there needs to be a balance in funding future research and funding living today. Lots to do in 2023.

Getting up to exercise every morning needs #motivation even if you know 2.5hrs of high intensity can slow the progression of #parkinsons . But when you turn round before going into the gym and see the sunrise you are glad you did. #MondayMotivation

Dear Substantia Nigra I never asked for your neurons to disappear. I didn’t even realise until 70% or so of them had. So I will do my exercise each week to help you. To help the ones that are left and to help you make new connections #Parkinsons

I’ve never felt as uneasy before in my career as with #COVID19 But we as #doctors #nurses #HealthCareWorkers #alliedhealthcare professionals #porters #administration and #managers stand together . We are the #NHS #Covid_19 #COVID_19uk

Anything that helps get the message across that #Parkinsons medication is #timecritical . A massive thank you to the 50 #NHS CEOs who have pledged support so far to this campaign since 11th April and for the work to come.

Today I didn’t let #Parkinsons hold me back, I put myself out there, I challenged the boundaries, the perceptions and I competed. I competed hard, I gave it my all and you know what, I think I may just have held my own. #NeverGiveUp

When we watched on the news that China built two hospitals from scratch for #Covid_19 patients in a week, people said we can’t do that. Well we improvised and just did #NHSNightingale with two more on the way #COVID19 #NHS

The Basil #Exercise Trilogy for those with mild, progressing and more complex #Parkinsons symptoms are now all together in this @Youtube playlist with links to the @ParkinsonsEN exercise guidelines. My hope is that they encourage everyone each and everyday

My summer is officially over and I’m back doing what I love. Caring for patients on the ED observation ward @Leic_hospital and working with @ParkinsonsEN to improve the care for people with #Parkinsons .

I had the pleasure of meeting ‘Mollie’ the therapy dog who volunteers at @Leic_hospital today. She was in the ED for staff. This work often goes unnoticed by the majority so I have sketched her this evening for her owner Jo just to say thank you.
