Edinburgh Parkinson's Lecture 2024

This year’s Edinburgh Parkinson’s Lecture took place on Tuesday 17th September 2024. The 2024 Edinburgh Parkinson’s Lecturer was Richelle Flanagan. The title of her lecture was: How nutrition and diet can help you live better with Parkinson’s.
Richelle is an Irish state-registered Dietitian who has been practising for 18 years. She is a past President of the Irish Nutrition and Dietetic Institute, the professional body for Dietitians in Ireland.
Richelle has co-authored two diet-related papers on Parkinson’s and is a research partner with the Ulster University at Coleraine on a gut microbiome and Parkinson’s study. She is also part of a consortium which has applied for a Horizon Europe grant to investigate personalised diet and the microbiome in People with Parkinson’s.

I am so confused. Is there a bite size way of learning this? Will neurologists take this on board?

There were Neurologists and Consultants at the lecture as well as Parkinson's Specialist Nurses. So hopefully key areas from the lecture will be something they share. The slides the Richelle used are on the Edinburgh Parkinson's website - within the dedicated Lecture link.
