Our next meeting:

Our monthly meetings usually have a speaker. Recent meetings have informed us about research activities at the University, other Parkinson's-related concerns, and topics of general interest. Some meetings are devoted to group discussion and feedback.
Non-members are welcome to attend a meeting, but we encourage you to join and become a member to take full advantage of all Branch events, activities and benefits.

Technology solutions to help with Parkinson's:
Presentations and Q&A with medical technology organizations from Oxford and further afield: NeuHealth, GaitQ, Strolll, Symbyx and others.
It seems inevitable that technology will be increasingly important to us, but there are so many competing products and companies that it can be hard to decide what to choose and how to use their solutions. Join us to learn more and challenge the manufacturers!
