The Merton Community Parkinson’s Service is run by a Parkinson’s nurse specialist, Holly King. Once patients are referred to the service, they are seen throughout their disease journey and regular contact is maintained. This is to ensure any changes in their condition are identified and gives the patients an opportunity to ask questions and raise any concerns they may have. Appropriate care plans can then be formulated in conjunction with the patient, their relatives and the wider multidisciplinary team.
Holly works closely with neurologists from local hospitals and other neuro rehabilitation specialists such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists and speech and language therapists as well as many other community services to provide holistic, patient centred care.
Home visits are available for patients who have difficulty getting to either of the clinic locations.
