Taking part in research is vital for science to progress, for the people affected by a health condition, and for future generations.

Health research and clinical trials is more than taking medications and spending time being assessed; it involves many stakeholders including patients, carers, clinicians, funding organisations and governing bodies in prioritising, designing and delivering research results.

At Cure Parkinson’s we are focused on improving the clinical trials process to expedite better treatments for people living with Parkinson’s.
