On the 12th and 13th November, Parkinson’s UK held their biennial research conference in York. It is not only an opportunity for the charity to showcase some of the research that they have funded over the last few years, but it was also a chance for members of the Parkinson’s research community to come together to share ideas, network and form new collaborations. I was lucky enough to attend the event this year, and wanted to share some of the take away messages from the conference with the readers. In today’s post, we will review Parkinson’s UK 2018 research conference (#Parkinsons2018).

Parkinson’s UK is the largest Parkinson’s research and support charity in the United Kingdom. Since 2015, they have invested over £18 million in a variety of research projects focused on all aspects of Parkinson’s – from new experimental treatments to the Parkinson’s UK Brain Bank.
Every two years, Parkinson’s UK holds a conference highlighting some of the research that the organisation has funded over the last few years. The meeting is usually held in the beautiful walled city of York – lots of history and narrow streets to explore.
