Hospital team to hold Parkinson's event at Harrogate hotel
An event for people affected by Parkinson’s Disease will be held at the Cedar Court Hotel in Harrogate on Wednesday, January 18.
The event, the first of its kind to be organised by the Parkinson’s team from Harrogate District Hospital, will run from 4 till 6pm and is open to everyone with Parkinson's, their relatives and their carers.
Parkinson’s Disease is a brain disorder that typically causes involuntary movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. Other symptoms can include depression, anxiety, insomnia, and memory problems.
The event will feature a research update, a singing session and demonstration, artwork by people affected by Parkinson’s, interactive displays, and a chance to meet the hospital’s Parkinson’s team.
Organiser Dr Rosaria Buccoliero, who is a consultant neurologist at the hospital, said:
To book a place, call Christine on 01423 521064 or email john.sheepy@harrogateparkinsons.co.uk.
