Course Benefits
Parkinson’s is a complex condition and unique for each person. At the end of life, our clients need to be treated with care and respect. Parkinson’s symptoms must be managed effectively to reduce distress, maintain dignity and respect individuals’ wishes.
This course works to ensure effective palliative care for people with Parkinson’s remains patient-centred, and family-focused.
By understanding how advanced and Atypical Parkinson’s can affect people, you’ll be better able to:
- support care planning that informs and empowers the individual, families and health care staff
- enable people living with Parkinson’s to live fully and comfortably as possible when they approach the end of their lives
- deliver, facilitate and coordinate care to meet the complex care needs of individuals living with Parkinson’s.
