Could a repurposed heart medication help slow the progression of Parkinson's?
Parkinson's WA is proud to support the PROTECT-PD clinical trial in Perth, led by researchers from the Perron Institute and Curtin University.
The study is recruiting around 140 people with early Parkinson's (diagnosed within the last 3 years). If you're 40+ and meet the eligibility criteria, you may be able to take part and contribute to important Parkinson's research. 🧠✨

💙 On 21 July 2026, Parkinson's WA proudly hosted our Parkinson's Nurse Specialist Education Day at The Niche.
Our Parkinson's Nurse Specialists came together for a day of learning, collaboration, and connection, with presentations from psychologists, speech pathologists, research coordinators, neurologists, and Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) trainers. 🩺✨
A highlight of the day was the opportunity for nurses to share their experiences and learn from one another, strengthening the care and support provided to people living with Parkinson's.
A big thank you to all our guest speakers and attendees for making the day such a success! 💙
