Occupational therapists involved "missing" patients operation
Wednesday 6th August 2008
A group of occupational therapists are set to be part of a team of medical professionals involved in an operation to seek out Parkinson's Disease patients in Scarborough.
According to the town's health trust, there may be over 100 people in the area suffering from the illness - a progressive neurological condition which affects movement - who are not benefiting from the treatments available.
In order to find some of these "missing" people, a team of Parkinson's specialists at Scarborough Hospital is organising an open afternoon on Friday August 8th, Scarborough Today reports.
As well as including occupational therapists, the group will benefit from the expertise of speech therapists, physiotherapists, neurologists and occupational therapists, those looking for UK medical jobs may be interested to hear.
Commenting on the planned event, Pat Berry, chairman of the Scarborough and District Parkinson's Disease Society, said: "The open afternoon will be a wonderful opportunity for people to find out more [about the condition]."
