The last eight years have seen a rapid growth in the evidence base across a broad range of treatments for Parkinson’s, including evaluation of the impact of occupational therapy.

This second edition of guidance for occupational therapists will help practitioners to deliver effective and evidence-based care when working with people living with Parkinson’s.

This best practice guidance aims to:

  1. Place the person with Parkinson’s and their family at the centre of all occupational therapy interventions.
  2. Support occupational therapists in the holistic assessment and treatment of people living with Parkinson’s.
  3. Introduce novel and condition-specific occupational therapy interventions.
  4. Summarise and interpret the best available evidence to support best-practice occupational therapy intervention in the UK.
