Supporting patients and their families through complex problems and symptoms management related to Parkinson’s.

Our Service

If you or someone close to you has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, you are not alone.

East Lancashire Alliance currently deliver the Parkinson’s Community Nurse Service across East Lancashire – an optional support service that you can access at any stage of your condition.

Our team of Parkinson’s Nurse Specialists are experienced clinicians with advanced knowledge and skills in Parkinson’s care. They can work alongside your GP, consultant, and community teams to deliver additional specialist support.

Our team can:

  • Assess how your symptoms are affecting you.
  • Offer tailored advice on managing your symptoms.
  • Review your medication.
  • Signpost you to further support in your local area.
  • Connect you with others living with Parkinson’s – from wellbeing cafés to dance classes.
  • Support with other conditions including progressive Supra Nuclear Palsy, Multiple System Atrophy, and Cortico Basal Degeneration.
How to refer

Any health care professional can refer into the service by completing a referral form.

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.
