No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Parkinson's disease leads to loss of employment on average within less than 10 years of disease onset and has been found to be associated with an increased absence from work. This combined with hospitalisation; use of secondary health services; drug usage; and caregivers needing to give up work contributed to the costs associated with the conditions. It has been estimated that early support for working age newly diagnosed would cost the government about 1.5 million Euro in the UK but might lead to a potential cost saving of over half a billion over 5 years.

The study will explore the impact of a Parkinson diagnosis on employment. The study will be survey based and will include demographic questions: age, age at diagnosis of PD, educational level, and Nationality; questions pertaining to employment type, history, and reasons for leaving if this happened; and also general health.
