Kathrynne Holden reported briefly - as part of her report from the UK Conference she attended - on the economic savings to be gained from having the services of Parkinson's Nurse Specialists (PNS). There was one response (about the practical help) from a list member regarding a UK PNS. If there are other List members from the UK - or any PNS who are List members, I would like to hear from you as to: 1. How the PNS operates in your area (practicalities of the job) 2. Who funds the PNS? 3. Some example case studies about how the PNS has successfully intervened to prevent hospitalisation - or recognise a potential problem and got hospitalisation before crisis situation. 4. Stresses/ limitations of the job. 5. Wish lists: how could your work situation be improved? Thanks so much Joy Graham Perth WA
