Medication and individual care planning - pending....

✅ Once I am registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), I will be able to offer personalised assessments and advice regarding your treatment and medication options. I will be offering a pricing schedule soon for this as follow ups will be needed to ensure safe prescribing. 

 * I am registered as a non-independent prescriber, so can review, alter and prescribe Parkinson's medication.*

🤝 With your consent, I can also liaise with your NHS Parkinson’s team and GP to ensure they are kept fully updated with any recommendations we agree upon.

⚠️ Please note: Some aspects of your care cannot be managed safely online and may need to be redirected to your NHS team.
