What is Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged over many years.

The three main symptoms of Parkinson’s disease are:

• involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremors)
• slow movement
• stiff and inflexible muscles

A person with Parkinson’s disease can also experience a wide range of other physical and psychological symptoms, including:

• depression and anxiety
• balance problems – this may increase the chance of a fall
• loss of sense of smell (anosmis)
• problems sleeping (insomnia)
• memory problems

Why is this Parkinson’s disease training course important?

Because of the degenerative nature of Parkinson’s disease, it is important for caregivers and health care and social care staff to have an awareness of the specific needs of each individual. This helps to tailor care to each person affected in line with their needs.

Is there a cure for Parkinson’s disease?

There’s currently no cure for Parkinson’s and we don’t yet know why people get the condition.

But there are lots of different treatments, therapies and support available to help you manage the condition. These will be discussed in this e-learning course.

What is the Skills for Health’s UK ‘Core Skills Training Framework’ (CSTF)?

There is increasing recognition that there are wide variations in the quality and consistency of healthcare training provided across the UK. To minimise these challenges, LearnPac Systems works with various UK health and social care organisations to develop statutory and mandatory training courses in line with Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework (CSTF).

This includes mandatory training courses in the Skills for Health’s UK Core Skills Training Framework – CSTF Statutory Mandatory Training Subject Guide Version 1.3 , Skills for Health Clinical Care UK Core Skills Training Framework Subject Guide April 2015 and other awareness courses for health and social care workers.

This online Parkinson’s disease training course was developed in line with the CSTF learning outcomes.
