Information about Local Parkinson’s Research Groups
Research Interest Groups (RIGs) are made up of people affected by Parkinson’s and researchers.
They support Parkinson’s UK by increasing awareness and understanding of research at a regional level. Research Interest Group members are Research Support Network volunteers. They’re often led by a steering group, who work with local groups and staff to coordinate, initiate and participate in research activities of the following types:
- Meetings and presentations on research given by researchers
- Visits to laboratories undertaking Parkinson’s research
- Participation in clinical trials and studies
- Keeping up to date with research progress and new developments
- Identifying people to speak at local
support groups about Parkinson’s research - Promoting the Brain Bank
- Working with researchers to shape their research through Patient and Public Involvement opportunities
- Raising funds for Parkinson’s UK research programmes
You can find more information, including a list of nationwide Research Interest Groups, here.
