Teach Parkinson’s awareness with this editable Care Ready Solutions training pack for adult health and social care educators and workplace trainers. Understanding Parkinson’s, its symptoms and treatment, and how to support people to live well.

Five files included

• 14-slide Parkinson’s Awareness course
• 19-slide Trainer’s Edition with speaker notes, teaching points, questions and model answers
• 9-page learner workbook with activities, knowledge check, reflection and learner declaration
• Extra 42-page Teacher and Trainer Toolkit
• Separate editable certificate of completion template

All five files are editable PowerPoint (.pptx) resources, so you can add your own logo, local procedures and examples. The toolkit is a generic set of blank forms to customise for session planning, attendance, assessment, feedback and learner records; it is not 42 pages of topic-specific lessons. The certificate records completion; it does not confer accreditation.

Topics covered

What Is Parkinson’s?; Who Is Affected?; Main Motor Symptoms; Non-Motor Symptoms; Medication: Get It On Time; On and Off Periods; Supporting Mobility and Preventing Falls; Eating, Drinking and Swallowing; Communication; Emotional Wellbeing; Living Well With Parkinson’s.

How to use it

Deliver it as a stand-alone session, as part of staff induction, or as a refresher in a team meeting. The Trainer’s Edition gives model responses for every question, and completed workbooks give you written evidence of learning for audits and inspections.

Suitable use

Health and social care teaching, vocational and FE courses, staff induction and awareness refreshers. Age not applicable. PowerPoint or compatible software is required. Digital teaching resources only; no delivered training or physical products.

Awareness learning does not authorise clinical procedures. Follow individual care plans, consent, current professional advice, applicable law and local policy. Staff need role-specific training, competence assessment and employer authorisation for practical tasks.
