During Parkinson's Awareness Month in April, we'll shine a light on this neurological condition that impacts over 150,000 Australians including younger people than you might think. 👉 The perception that Parkinson’s affects only older people is wrong. More than 1,100 Australians under 65 are living with Young Onset Parkinson's. 👉 About 10-20% of people with Parkinson’s have symptoms before the age of 50, with many diagnosed in their 30s and 40s. 👉 We provide support for those living with Parkinson's in SA and the ACT. 💜 For help and assistance, visit https://lnkd.in/gjk7_zpy or call The Hospital Research Foundation Group - Parkinson's (a charity of THRFG) on 1800 644 189. #ParkinsonsAwarenessMonth #Parkinsons #YoungOnsetParkinsons

NEW grant to improve dementia care in hospitals 🥰 As more people with dementia are admitted to general hospital wards, there's an increasing need to find better ways to support them. That’s why we’re so proud to be supporting Associate Professor Maayken van den Berg from Flinders University and Northern Adelaide Local Health Network (NALHN) to address this need, in a new project titled CARE-D (Coordinated Approach for Responsive Engagement in Dementia). The project aims to help patients whose symptoms worsen when moved from their familiar home to an unfamiliar hospital setting, which can leave them feeling disorientated and agitated. 📎 Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/ggwntWEv
