Abstract

AbstractParkinson’s disease is the second most common neurological disorder after dementia in Australia (Deloitte, 2015). The complexities of caring for a person with Parkinson’s disease highlights the need for Parkinson’s disease and movement disorder nurse specialists (PDMDNS) (Bramble, Carroll, & Rossiter, 2018).The Australasian Neuroscience Nurses Association’s (ANNA) Movement Disorder Chapter (MDC) aims to implement an annual demographic survey over the next 10 years to capture the characteristics of the PDMDNS cohort, identify gaps in service provision and aid the workforce planning through useful and influential data.The results of this survey were able to highlight the geographical areas that are underserviced, the diverse employment opportunities available and the issues around financial funding for PDMDNS positions in Australia.
