The PRIME trial team recently reached another milestone, having completed all research visits for the 12-month (half-way) point of the trial. We’re really proud of all the hard work that the team have put in to these visits, both at the RICE Centre at RUH Bath (recently rebranded as the ReMind UK Centre) and at the homes of those unable to travel to the centre.

We are also hugely grateful to all of our wonderful participants for their time and patience with the visits. We’re looking forward to seeing as many as possible of them again at the 24-month visits from November!

We are delighted to announce that the PRIME Parkinson RCT has completed recruitment, reaching the target of 214 people with Parkinsonism. This is a huge achievement and the PRIME RCT team are excited to continue the trial over the next two years!

We hope this trial will provide vital insight on proactive and integrated care for people with Parkinson’s.

Dr Emily Henderson, along with some members of the PRIME-Parkinson Dutch team have had a paper accepted in Lancet Neurology. The paper, entitled ‘Integrated and patient-centred management of Parkinson’s disease: a network model for reshaping chronic neurological care’ looks into how existing care models are not set up to meet the needs of patients with chronic neurological conditions and proposes to re-shape the future of this care.
