As a health care professional, it is important that you realize how important medication timing is to a patient with Parkinson's. Please review the resources here and consider having a 'Get it on time' trainer visit your facility to deliver an inservice presentation.

• ‘It’s a win-win’; getting medication on time improves quality of life for the person with Parkinson’s and makes the health care provider’s day easier, too.
• The uneven release of dopamine means that PLWP may suddenly not be able to move, get out of bed or walk down the corridor. It can also lead to serious complications like aspiration pneumonia and bowel obstruction.
• Once a medication routine is disrupted, it may take hours, days or even weeks for a person’s Parkinson’s to stabilize.
• People with Parkinson’s are unique – and so is their medication.
