NHS Western Isles is shortly set to advertise for the first Western Isles Parkinson?s Nurse, thanks to a successful bid for funding from Parkinson?s UK.
It is anticipated that, as a result of the recruitment of a specialist nurse to support people in the Western Isles with Parkinson?s disease, the services provided locally will be significantly improved.
Parkinson?s disease is a progressive neurological condition which more commonly occurs in the later years of life. People with Parkinson?s don?t have enough of a chemical called dopamine because some nerve cells in their brain have perished. Without dopamine, people can find that their movements become slower so it takes longer to do things.
