As we move through 2025, touchNEUROLOGY remains committed to sharing the latest developments in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our society partners at Parkinson’s Europe have outlined three key hopes for the year ahead—each representing a crucial step toward better support, understanding and treatment for the Parkinson’s community.

1. For the EU to listen to their call to action about improving Parkinson’s care in Europe

Parkinson’s Europe is urging European policymakers to invest more resources in strengthening neurodegenerative healthcare workforces across the region. The goal is to ensure higher standards of care for people with Parkinson’s, regardless of where they live.

2. More real-world data to understand the bigger picture of Parkinson’s in Europe

While research into Parkinson’s disease continues, a more unified approach is needed in 2025. Leveraging real-world data will help strengthen advocacy efforts and drive meaningful change for the Parkinson’s community.

3. Amplifying the Parkinson’s voice in the EU and beyond

Collaboration is key to progress in Parkinson’s care. Engaging with global experts and initiatives, such as the National Plan to End Parkinson’s in the USA in 2024, will be essential in driving meaningful improvements worldwide.
