Parkinson’s Community Nurse Service

East Lancashire Alliance runs the Parkinson’s Community Nurse Service for East Lancashire. The Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist (PNS) will help to support you and your family through complex problems that are related to your illness. They are nurses with additional knowledge and skills.

The Nurse Specialists work closely with GP’s, community nurse teams and care agencies who may be involved in supporting you. They advise on symptom management and provide support with physical, emotional or social issues.

What happens after referral?

The Parkinson’s Specialist Nurse (PNS) will contact you to arrange an appointment in clinic or to visit you in your own home to assess your needs. They work with you and the care team to plan how you can be helped and supported.

Parkinson’s Patient Events

We run regular events for Parkinson’s patients in East Lancashire – including a ‘newly diagnosed’ session. Patients who have recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s can attend and learn about different symptoms, the importance of staying active, local support groups and more.

A range of professionals and support services attend the events, to ensure patients can access all the information and support they need. Our next event is in November – please contact us on: 01282 222688 if you would like to attend.
