About
ParkinsonNet Luxembourg promotes patient-centred care by training healthcare providers to identify and address the specific Parkinson’s related needs of each patient and by facilitating communication between the different healthcare disciplines around a patient’s individualised treatment.
Modelled after the highly effective Dutch programme founded by Prof. Dr. Bas Bloem from Radboud University Nijmegen, the concept focuses on building an integrated care network for people with Parkinson’s disease at all stages. Thanks to its close link to international research, it allows its members to benefit, during their continuous training, of the latest findings and use state of the art treatments.
Today, ParkinsonNet Luxembourg continually strives to improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s. The members are fully committed to continuing medical education as an essential component to best practice for patient support, and crucial to the programme’s success.
