Summary
On this, the final episode of series 2 of Movers and Shakers, we're gathering at Casa Lacey-Solymar for mince pieces, sherry, and an important discussion about what can be done to help people with Parkinson's across the country. In the coming months, we'll be drawing up the Parky Charter and presenting it to the government, offering them actionable suggestions for improving the lives of Parkinson's patients. In this episode, the group discuss and debate the format the charter should take. We're also looking for your suggestions: email feedback@moversandshakerspodcast.com with your Top 5 ideas for the charter!
