Abstract

Reflection of the last 12 months.Over the past 12 months, we have seen a rapid growth in the number of Parkinson’s Disease Movement Disorder Nurse Specialist (PDMDNS) positions across Australia. This is largely thanks to Federal funding of $6.3 million injected into the Primary Health Networks. The result is a creative diversification of the Parkinson’s disease nursing model as organisations seek to meet the needs of their local populations with the resources available.Changes to the landscape diversification of models of careCreative new models of care include using the funding to upskill a number of rural and remote nurses within their existing positions to provide specialised care to people with Parkinson’s disease. Another model has placed one nurse position within a private allied health business setting. A third model is the ongoing initiative from Parkinson’s NSW where they have continued to partner with Local Health Districts across New South Wales to insert PDMDNS into public hospitals.Timeliness of the Demographic survey – what the survey set out to achieve, advantages of tracking change and growth within the specialtyAt a time of such rapid advancements, an annual demographic survey enables us to quantify and track the growth and changes within the specialty.
