2024 has been a busy year for Parkinson’s research, both in research results and in how the community has come together to push for better. We wanted to take this opportunity to reflect on some of our research highlights. 👇

We’ve committed over £2.5m towards 11 new projects through our research grants programme, and over £8m to a further 5 projects through our Parkinson’s Virtual Biotech partnership.

We made the news with research we funded at University College London (UCL) after identifying a blood test which may be able to detect Parkinson’s early, before movement symptoms appear. The work showed that a simple blood test was 100% accurate in identifying Parkinson’s in over 130 people.

We’re investing in a trial of HER-096, a potential treatment designed to protect and restore brain cells affected by Parkinson’s and we launched our pioneering Landmark programme.

Our Research Support Network grew to over 10,000 members. And we’ve supported more than 70 research projects by linking them with people in the Parkinson’s community, and a further 40 by helping them find participants to take part in their research studies.

There’s so much to look forward to in 2025, to read more please visit 👉 https://prksn.uk/3P7nbHL

You can share your vision for the future of the NHS too. It’s important that as many people as possible call for change in Parkinson’s care. If you agree with our three messages, consider including them in your own submission.

The government asked what should be in its 10 Year Health Plan for England. The Parkinson's community has told them what needs to happen to improve healthcare.
