World Parkinson's Day 2026: bridging the care gap
<p>“A doctor wants to make us better. But patients want to feel good too.”</p><br><p>In this special World Parkinson's Day episode of the Parkinson's Life podcast, we're shining a light on Parkinson's nurses, and the enormous difference they can make to the lives of people living with the condition.</p><br><p>Parkinson's nurses are sign-posters, counsellors, prescribers and researchers. But across Europe, access to this vital role is far from consistent. </p><br><p>To explore what that gap really means, we hear from Karen Lumey, who has lived with Parkinson's for 14 years in the Netherlands, and her Parkinson's nurse, Friedhelm Chmell, based in Germany. </p><br><p>Their relationship offers a vivid picture of what good, accessible care looks like. </p><br><p>We also hear from Massimiliano Iachini, who was diagnosed in Turin, Italy, almost 20 years ago and has never had access to a Parkinson's nurse. For him, the prospect of having one remains, in his own words, "something like a dream."</p><br><p>Their stories, like so many others, are the driving force behind Parkinson's Europe's World Parkinson's Day 2026 campaign: bridging the care gap. </p><br><p>We look at why care is so inconsistent across Europe, what the latest research tells us about the impact Parkinson's nurses have on health outcomes, and what needs to happen at a European policy level to change things. </p><br><p>To find out more and sign the Parkinson's Europe campaign pledge, visit <a href="http://parkinsonseurope.org/campaigns/world-parkinsons-day" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">parkinsonseurope.org/campaigns/world-parkinsons-day</a>.</p><br><p>Meet your hosts: </p><br><p>Amelia Hursey is Strategic Director at Parkinson's Europe. She has a Master's in cognitive neuropsychology and has been involved in the neurodegenerative research world for 15 years. </p><br><p>Anthony Zahra is a broadcaster and journalist with more than 20 years' experience in radio, digital and podcasting.</p><br><p>For the latest research and information on Parkinson's, visit the <a href="https://parkinsonseurope.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Parkinson's Europe website</a>. If you like what you've heard, please rate and review – it helps make sure others can find us.

Women and Parkinson's: closing the gender gap
<p>This podcast has been developed and funded by Merz Therapeutics GmbH. </p><br><p>"90% of women said their neurologist had never asked them about the impact of hormones on their symptoms.”</p><br><p>In this special International Women's Day episode, we explore the unique and often overlooked experiences of women living with Parkinson's - from the impact of hormones and the menstrual cycle, to menopause, bone health, HRT, and the persistent gaps in research and clinical trials.</p><br><p>Richelle Flanagan is a registered dietician who has lived with young onset Parkinson's for nearly ten years. </p><br><p>Drawing on her own experience, she founded and founder of an app to help women with Parkinson's track their symptoms across their stages of life.</p><br><p>She is joined by Silvia Enriquez, a neurologist and clinical researcher specialising in biomarkers at Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona, with a particular interest in sex differences in Parkinson's symptoms and clinical trials.</p><br><p>And Cathy Molohan, who is a board member of Parkinson's Europe and a passionate advocate for women with Parkinson's, and has been living with the condition for nearly fifteen years.</p><br><p>Together, our three guests explore what the data tells us, what's still missing, and what needs to change, from the consulting room to the clinical trial.</p><br><p>The content of this episode was up to date and accurate at the time of recording in February 2026. </p><br><p>This episode has been reviewed by Merz Therapeutics GmbH</p><br><p>For the latest research and information on Parkinson's, visit parkinsonseurope.org.</p><br><p>If you like what you've heard, please rate and review — it helps make sure others can find us. </p><br><p>Keep a lookout for our next episode and until then, take care!</p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
