STEM CELLS AND PARKINSON'S DISEASE

Co-organized by ISSCR and the WPC, this open access webinar provided a high-level outlook of current cell therapy research and clinical applications for Parkinson's disease. Presenters highlighted advances in cell and gene therapies, including basic research discoveries and the latest clinical trials. 


 

YOPD VIRTUAL PROGRAM

The goal is to understand and explore topics that are directed towards living with YOPD, recognizing that the concerns and disease experience is different for those diagnosed early in life whether looking at the individual’s role in managing their PD, their relationships with others, and their medical care. 


 



WEBINAR SERIES 
A Road to Barcelona


We are launching the first ever WPC dual language webinar series in English and Spanish.

We will offer this webinar using bi-lingual Parkinson's experts. These experts will present and take questions in two webinars back to back. The first webinar will be in English. Once this session ends, they will take a short break and then will give the same talk in Spanish. We believe that it's important for people to hear about their disease and treatment options in their native language directly from the experts.



SERIE DE SEMINARIOS WEB
Camino al WPC Barcelona

 

Estaremos lanzando la primera serie de webinars en dos idiomas en la historia de la WPC, en inglés y español.

Ofreceremos este webinar presentando a expertos en Parkinson bilingües. Estos expertos presentarán y recibirán preguntas en dos webinars seguidos. El primer webinar será en inglés. Una vez concluida la sesión, tomarán un breve receso y luego darán la misma presentación en español. Consideramos que es importante que las personas escuchen sobre su enfermedad y sus alternativas de tratamiento en su lengua materna directamente de los expertos.






2022 CARE PARTNER TALK SERIES

This 4-part series of virtual panel discussions is designed by and for care partners with input from social workers, nurses, and others. Started in 2020, at the request of care partners, sessions are designed to offer support to Care Partners who are navigating their own Parkinson’s journey. Topics cover a wide range of issues from self-care, caring for a loved one from afar, the emotional roller coaster of being a care partner, communication, and more.

2021 CARE PARTNER TALK SERIES

This 4-part series of virtual panel discussions is designed by and for care partners with input from social workers, nurses, and others. Started in 2020, at the request of care partners who were unable to join the WPC Care Partner Lounge in person at the WPC 2019, it’s designed to offer support to Care Partners who are navigating their own Parkinson’s journey. Topics will range from self-care, the emotional roller coaster of being a care partner, communication, and maintaining intimacy.


WPC 2021 VIRTUAL CONGRESS

The WPC Virtual: Advancing Science, Care, & Living with Parkinson’s online congress took scientific updates and connectivity to a new level. We were thrilled to offer this first ever virtual Congress that was on par with the quality and content of what we offer in person at the triennial World Parkinson Congresses. The in person Congress will continue to take place every three years, with these WPC Virtual Congresses being offered in the years between the live WPCs, meaning that every year, without fail, you can access timely, forward thinking Parkinson's talks that will inspire you and give hope to the millions of people living globally with Parkinson's.

If there are other topics you’d like to see covered, or you would like to sponsor a webinar, please email info@worldpdcoalition.org.

 







2020 CARE PARTNER TALK SERIES

At our triennial World Parkinson Congresses, people with Parkinson’s and care partners (CPs) play an active role in the program design. One area that is informed by care partners at each WPC is the Care Partner Lounge. The Lounge is an active space designed for CPs to come together to learn, connect, relax and be inspired. After the 5th World Parkinson Congress in 2019, we received feedback from care partners globally who indicated they wished they could be a part of the Care Partner Lounge, but due to travel inhibitions they could not partake in the activities. It was this feedback that inspired us to survey the community. Based on the feedback that came back to us from the CPs we surveyed, we decided to take the Care Partner Lounge virtual.

SCIENCE WEBINARS

The World Parkinson Coalition® hosts the most unique international conference in the Parkinson’s space every three years by bringing together basic scientists, neurologists, general physicians, nurses, social workers, rehab specialists as well as people with Parkinson’s (PwP) and care partners to learn, share, and build collaborations.

WPC was founded on the belief that the research of basic and clinical scientists is enriched by the insights provided by the people with Parkinson’s and those who care for them. We also think it’s crucial that PwP and their families have a chance to meet and hear directly from the researchers who are working to find better treatments and a cure. This interaction gives PwP and families dignity as contributors to the science and new treatments that will bring them a better quality of life and offers them hope for the future.

These science webinars are designed to be accessible to the masses while offering the the most current information to the viewers. Currently you can view three virtual panels that were offered by faculty from the WPC 2019 who spoke about the same topics they were planning to cover at the Congress. This was a way to ensure our friends who could not join us in Kyoto could also hear directly from, and interact with, these world renowned experts. Over time, we will rotate out older content for fresh content.

If there are other topics you’d like to see covered, or you would like to sponsor a webinar, please email info@worldpdcoalition.org.
