Happy #InternationalNursesDay to all the DBS nurse’s across the UK. Thank you for all the amazing work you do supporting people with Parkinson’s undergoing DBS surgery @DBSNA_UK @ParkinsonsEN
It was fantastic to speak to Amanda and talk about the growth and development of the Parkinson’s Nurse role to celebrate #InternationalNursesDay
Did you know Parkinson’s nurses have been around for 35 years?
In the next part of our #InternationalNursesDay celebrations, we asked consultant Parkinson’s nurse, Amanda Hulejczuk of @UHsussex what the role was like when she began, compared to now.
See how far it's all come!
Happy #InternationalNursesDay to our amazing Parkinsons Nurses.
Thank you does not seem enough for all the amazing work you do in supporting people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones @PDNSA @ParkinsonsEN @ParkinsonsUK
Just love the passion and dedication that shines throught in these interviews. #InternationalNursesDay @PDNSA
To mark #InternationalNursesDay on 12 May, we asked 3 wonderful new #Parkinsons nurses what was the most rewarding part of their job.
