Join us to hear from Bas Bloem and Ray Dorsey

Event programme

The event will use Zoom videoconferencing.

After a brief welcome from Oxford Branch, the main part of the event will be a presentation by leading Parkinson’s researchers and clinicians Bas Bloem and Ray Dorsey.

They will

outline some of the causes of Parkinson’s,
ask why the number of people with Parkinson’s is on the increase, and
suggest how we can hope to stop its progression.

They will also encourage us to add our voices to worldwide Parkinson’s activism by joining PD Avengers, a community inspired by their book Ending Parkinson’s Disease.
