April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, with Parkinson’s Awareness Week falling on the 7th-13th of April and World Parkinson’s Day taking place on April 11th.
NAI members, Parkinson's Ireland campaign for the month is ‘Different for Everyone’ and will launch on April 1st, to spread awareness about the many symptoms that come with Parkinson’s Disease and how everyone’s experience is unique. No one person has the same symptoms or journey.
The theme of the campaign stemmed from the awareness priorities identified by people with Parkinson’s, their families and care partners in a member survey. They ran this campaign in 2024 and it was nominated for an award at the Irish Healthcare Awards. They decided to build on it again this year with a focus on personal stories.
