Introduction
The Parkinson’s Decision Aid (PDA) is a website designed by patients for patients and their families.
The purpose of the PDA is to help you weigh up the best way to thrive with your Parkinson’s, not based on medical opinion alone, but also real-life experiences from people who live with Parkinson’s on a daily basis. This website will assist you in understanding your options, finding out who can help you, how they can help you and when.
REMEMBER: If you don't ask the right questions, then the healthcare professional cannot give you the right answers to improve your quality of life.
Armed with this mix of information you will be more able to make the choices that are right for you.
When you come across anything that you think is relevant to you or you feel that you want to ask further questions, print these pages out, you can then take them with you to your next doctor’s appointment so that you can discuss together.
If you do not own a computer with an Internet connection, you can access the information on the PDA website at your doctor’s surgery, at your local library or at an Internet café.
