AN NHS trust has been awarded for its innovation in Parkinson’s treatment.
The Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust won highly commended at the UK Parkinson’s Excellence Network Awards on Thursday, October 28.
Their entry focused on advance care planning in Parkinson’s.
Dr Donald Grosset, clinical director of the UK Parkinson’s Excellence Network, said: “This is a truly remarkable specialist team that is at the forefront of exceptional Parkinson’s care.”
He congratulated them on the award, and for “pushing boundaries” in care.
The virtual awards were co-hosted by Parkinson’s UK’s President Jane Asher and Terence Manning, a former head teacher, living with Parkinson’s.
Ms Asher said: “I love these awards. They give us a chance to celebrate great care for people affected by Parkinson’s. Care that makes a difference not only in the consulting room, but to peoples’ everyday lives in the community.”
