'Medicine and Me: Parkinson's Disease' is jointly organised by the Royal Society of Medicine and the Cure Parkinson's Trust.
'Medicine and Me meetings aim to provide a forum in which patients concerns about their illness are given top priority. The meetings provide an opportunity for patients and their families to share their experiences, to hear about the latest research and to question the experts.
