Surplus value of a ParkinsonNet caregiver?

  • Surplus value of a ParkinsonNet caregiver?

Caregivers participating in ParkinsonNet have received a specific training in the treatment of patients with Parkinson's disease and related disorders (atypical Parkinsonism). The participating caregivers, such as physiotherapists, speech therapists and occupational therapists work closely together with Parkinson nurses and neurologists in their region. Therefore, treatment is expert and optimally attuned. ParkinsonNet caregivers are well dispersed in a region and have to be able to make housecalls. This enables for patients to receive optimal treatment close to home. Patients can easily find the nearest caregiver participating in the Dutch ParkinsonNet network using both the 'Parkinson Zorgzoeker' and the printable folders.
