Abstract
It is great to see the research and rapid growth of Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Nurse Specialist (PDMDNS) positions across Australia. The 2020 Annual Demographic Survey provides an important baseline, providing key details regarding the workforce in Australia. The results present a unique opportunity to track the growth and changes within the speciality and also address needs areas such as the underservicing of rural and remote areas.As Covid-19 continues to disrupt the way we live, work, and interact organisations are scrambling to manage the fallout and to prepare for not only what is next but also a new norm of social distancing, remote and virtual communicating and working. Life has been a journey of existential challenges and it is impossible to overestimate the gravity of the pandemic. We might all wish that we had a crystal ball to have predicted the impact and devastation of Covid-19. What we have is strength in the structure of our organisations with vision and mission statements.As Neuroscience Nurses we need to be leaders and we need to be reactive to the challenges that confront us. We also need vision and a strategic path towards it. We need to look beyond the dark
