If you were diagnosed with Parkinson’s during your working life we want to hear about your experiences. If you were looking for work, what difficulties did you face? If you were already employed, what impact did it have?

Purpose of this survey

At Parkinson’s UK we plan to use the results of this survey to inform our future work and help us develop our policy position. This could include:

• calling for companies to improve their knowledge of Parkinson’s so their employees can stay in work for longer
• producing information resources and guidance for employers on reasonable adjustments that can be made to support you better in the workplace
• engaging with the government to ensure they take Parkinson’s into account in any future legislative changes

Share your views

If you’d like to share your experience or concerns about employment then please complete the survey online at www.bit.ly/parkinsons-employment

Alternatively, you can email Michael Griffin on mgriffin@parkinsons.org.uk or call on 020 7963 9349 for a paper copy.

The survey closes on Sunday 15 September 2019.

It’s important we hear from as many people with Parkinson’s who have experience around employment, so please share the survey with your Parkinson’s networks to help us reach as many people as possible.

Unless permission is clearly given, all responses are confidential and will only be used anonymously by Parkinson’s UK in our campaigning work.
