The European Parkinson’s Disease Association (EPDA) recently changed its name to Parkinson’s Europe. They are the only European Parkinson’s umbrella organisation and have been working with the global Parkinson’s community for nearly 30 years. As a leading voice for Parkinson’s in Europe, they provide trusted information; advance and share good practices; raise awareness and improve understanding of the condition; and facilitate research collaboration. In this touchNEUROLOGY interview, we caught up with Veronica Clark, President, Parkinson’s Europe, to discuss the recent name change, goals and initiatives for the next few years, and the major issues impacting the Parkinson’s community. We also discussed the Parkinson’s Manifesto for Europe that has been recently been launched. The manifesto aims to shine a light on what is important to people living with Parkinson’s disease and ensuring that their voices are heard and listened to. The manifesto is made up of 30 wishes that sit under 5 key areas.
