There are just 6 weeks left until we close our national #survey of people with #Parkinsons about accessing & using health services in Ireland. Its anonymous. Takes 15-20 minutes. We are at 800 responses and counting. Help us get to >1000! RTs appreciated! https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeZpV-9F_7SX5bS9-KdGdlDJMaikHnvZ2N9HTdc9ebHU9LtLw/viewform?usp=sf_link

A very important study designed and spearheaded by @ParkinsonsIre very own @RichelleFlan, we are lucky to have her! https://twitter.com/RichelleFlan/status/1359135773375815683

Richelle Flanagan 💚💙💙@RichelleFlan

The dublin branch of @ParkinsonsIre did a survey of members on impact of covid & isolation- 50% said there Parkinsons symptoms were worse & mood declined. 25% asked for our committee to call them. We defo need to be rethinking loneliness https://publichealth.ie/webinar-covid-19-and-rethinking-loneliness/

Wonderful news and we all hope this trend continues @paulreiddublin 😀Meanwhile here in #Parkinsons Land, a good trend too: almost twice the number attending our weekly Speech & Language practice, compared to your visit in July. Please come back to see -and hear!- for yourself 😃 https://twitter.com/paulreiddublin/status/1357975869776666628

A continued good trend down in #COVID19 hospitalised patients at 1196 & 177 in ICU. This is providing much relief for our hospitals, patients & families. It is still far too high for safety but a good sign that all of our actions are working. @HSELive
