Three Parkinson`s Nurse Specialists (PNS) operate in Fife and are based at the Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline, and the Victoria Hospital Kirkcaldy. The Parkinson’s nurse can provide education to people with Parkinson’s, their families and carers. This approach enables people to understand their condition and treatment. It facilitates shared decision-making and self-management. They are ideally placed to advise patients, both old and newly diagnosed about their local Parkinson’s groups and what they have to offer.
Nurses can be contacted on 01592 643355, extension 28834.
