Neurology

Appointment with a nurse specialising in neurology (Parkinson’s)

With a doctor’s order, the neurology nurse consults and monitors patients with neurological disorders and diseases (e.g. Parkinson’s) throughout their treatment course. If necessary, the nurse will conduct a GUSS (Gugging Swallowing Screening) test during the appointment to evaluate swallowing difficulty as well as consult the patient about the disease. Neurology nurses specialise in patients with headaches and Parkinson’s disease. 

Patients diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease are monitored and consulted by a neurology nurse specialising in Parkinson’s disease. They explain the nature of the illness to the patient during the appointment. In addition, the patient is educated about the disease, how to take medication and how to keep a Parkinson’s disease diary. Additionally, the neurology nurse monitors the use of medications and they inform the patient about potential side effects.
