1 in 6 people in the UK live with a neurological condition, so whatever area of nursing you work in, neuroscience care is likely to be part of your role. Join us at the RCN Neuroscience Forum Conference 2026 on 24 June in London. Book your place: www.rcn.org.uk/nfc26 #NeuroscienceNursing

Thinking about going on holiday with Parkinson’s? It is possible—with the right planning. ✔️ Ask for airport assistance ✔️ Keep meds with you (always) ✔️ Plan ahead for time zones ✔️ Choose somewhere that works for you ✔️ Pace yourself—this isn’t a race Most importantly… don’t forget to have fun.

We’re on the lookout for a new Treasurer at SpotlightYOPD. This is such an important role for us as a small but growing charity. If this might be you — or someone you know — please get in touch or share. 📧 contact@spotlightyopd.org 🗓 Deadline: End of April 2026 #parkinsons #charityrole

Day 4 (last day of @rcn.org.uk Congress): lively debates on financial hardships for nursing and care planning. It’s been a great #nursing Congress and had great company from Shona, Mark and Jonathan from the Forum. Think we convinced some nurses that #Neurology was the specialty to be in!!!

Day 3 of the @rcn.org.uk Congress in Liverpool. It’s been an interesting and humbling day listening to nurses who work in Conflict areas, quality improvements, lack of learning disability nurses to name but a few! Mark from the @rcnneuro.bsky.social had a 2nd opportunity to talk on stage too!

Day 2 of the @rcn.org.uk Congress. Met up with fantastic, hard working staff from @parkinsons.org.uk who were giving out vital information on Parkinson’s to other nursing delegates. #parkinsons #rcn2025 @rcnneuro.bsky.social

Proud to be representing the @rcnneuro.bsky.social at the Liverpool RCN Congress, alongside fellow committee members Shona and Mark. Looking forward to be inspired by our fellow nursing professions and meeting up with @parkinsons.org.uk staff at their stand in the Expo area. #RCN2025 #neurology

A breakthrough in #MultipleSystemAtrophy (MSA) research: Dr. Victor Dieriks and his team in NZ have identified that the cause of this neurodegenerative disorder is toxic α-synuclein protein aggregates that invade neuron nuclei. buff.ly/YKLxq6O
