Allied Health Professionals

Why Allied Health Professionals Should Attend the Congress

If you are a speech pathologist, nurse, physical therapist, occupational therapist, art or dance therapist, nutritionist or dietician, counselor, social worker, complementary medicine practitioner, or other allied health professional who cares for people with Parkinson’s, the World Parkinson Congress in 2010 is an event for you. For the second time, allied health professionals, doctors, researchers, caregivers, and people with Parkinson’s disease will gather in one place to share knowledge, exchange resources, and develop collaborative relationships. Together, a concentrated effort will be made to identify the best treatment practices and, ultimately, a cure for Parkinson’s.

The WPC 2010 offers allied health professionals an unprecedented opportunity for learning and professional development. The Congress features an extensive program of plenary sessions, symposia, and workshops with presentations and discussions devoted to the various aspects of care throughout all stages of the disease, and the latest scientific research from around the world.

The WPC 2010 also gives you an opportunity to form collaborative relationships with other allied health professionals as well as doctors, researchers, patients, and their families, each with valuable knowledge, skills, and/or personal experience that may help you deliver the best care to your Parkinson’s disease patients.
