Transcript
You have now completed all the modules of the Parkinson's bone health course. There is a certificate called a statement of participation, which you can print out. We’d really welcome any feedback, which we can incorporate into future iterations of these modules, so please contact us through the Parkinson's UK team.
We hope that the Parkinson's bone course has provided you with a greater understanding of the importance of bone health in Parkinson's and shown you that there are real opportunities to reduce fracture risk in our patients. In order that your patients have the best possible chance of avoiding the painful and distressing consequences of broken bones, particularly broken hips, we now hope that you feel empowered to take these opportunities.
