It’s here at last. It is 2023, year of the next World Parkinson Congress  (WPC) which will be held from July 4 to 7 in Barcelona, Spain.

This unique event usually takes place every three years in a different country. Anyone with a connection to Parkinson’s is welcome to attend.

It is an international forum enabling scientists, clinical researchers, health care professionals, people living with Parkinson’s, caregivers, and others to come together under one roof. They discuss, learn, and debate the latest scientific discoveries, medical and comprehensive care practices related to Parkinson’s disease.

The WPC is an inclusive event, founded on the belief that getting world leaders out of their professional silos and encouraging cross pollination of the scientific, clinical, rehabilitation, and advocacy communities would expedite the discovery of a cure and cultivate best treatment practices for this disease.

Read about the impact of this cross pollination format in these quirky and touching  stories on the Working Parkinson Connections blog page, written by UK-based neuroscientist Dr. Jon Stamford who is also living with Parkinson’s.
