Hi there My name is Simone and I am a 2nd year medical student at the University of Newcastle, Australia. I am studying the particular needs of patients with Parkinson's disease and would like to be able to obtain the view point of people with the disease, care givers, health professionals, relatives etc etc. Below is a list of questions that I am interested in answering. I would appreciate if you could spare ten minutes of your time to answer then and discuss any other issues you feel would be relevant to myunderstanding. Thank you Simone Questions 1. What are the main problems as identified by the sufferers of Parkinson's disease? What do they most often ask for, complain of, or request help with? 2. In what areas does a person with Parkinson's have more of a problem than other people their age? What services are needed to deal with these problems? Are they adequate? 3. What health services do patients with Parkinson's disease utilise significantly? 4. Identify the three health related problems for sufferers of Parkinson's Disease, which you feel are most in need of action.
