Parkinson Disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in Singapore and to date, there is no treatment to prevent or reverse the disease. Multidisciplinary management of PD is well established, and research suggests that occupational therapists can help people with Parkinson (PwP) experience better quality of life and reduce complications. It is important for occupational therapists to be well-informed of best practices in interventions for PD, and skilled in integrating various strategies to enable occupational participation.
This course aims to equip occupational therapists with knowledge, skills and resources to ensure evidence-based care for PwP from diagnosis to advanced PD.
