Welcome to the Bristol and District branch of Parkinson's UK
Welcome!
Welcome!
The Bristol Branch would like to invite you all to our Christmas celebration in the Main Hall at St Monica's on Saturday, 6th December.
Tea and coffee will be served from 10:30 am.
There will be a Christmas Quiz starting just after 11am with a raffle ending soon after midday.
(Our credit card reader is not working, so this will be a cash-only event. There will be donation tins on each table for those who wish to make a donation to Parkinson's UK.)
Our friendly and welcoming group meets regularly. Join us and meet others living with Parkinson's. Our group meeting often has speakers on topics ranging from hilarious to serious and sometimes a combination of both! We organise social trips and events and always offer refreshments with a snack. Everyone affected by Parkinson's is welcome, including friends, family and carers.

PROPOSAL FOR A BRISTOL-BASED PRODUODOPA SUPPORT GROUP
This is a message from Prof Denton - if you are interested please email him or Pat Hinton directly on r.denton@bristol.ac.uk or pathine16@gmail.com
"We have in mind to set up an informal group of those who use the Produodopa (PDD) Pump, together with our carers and clinicians. There is much we could learn by sharing experiences of this novel treatment and, in this way, provide some further support for each other.
We suggest a monthly, day-time meeting, if possible at the Bristol Brain Centre with video link by Teams or Zoom for those who find it difficult to attend in person. Meetings may have a focus on a topic of general concern but there would be ample opportunity and time to raise any general issue or specific problem related to the use of the PDD Pump.
If you, as a patient on thePDD Pump or as a carer of a PDD Pump user, are keen to see a Produodopa pump support group set up, please contact us by email, as soon as possible. We need to know the level of enthusiasm for the Support Group and welcome suggestions on how the group should be organized.
Dick Denton (r.denton@bristol.ac.uk) Dick has 10 months experience of the PDD pump - he was one of the first individuals in SW England to be fitted with the pump.
Mrs Pat Hine (pathine16@gmail.com). Pat has four months experience of the PDD pump."
