Movement disorder congress

The EJS ACT-PD team were thrilled to attend and present at the recent MDS Congress in Madrid! The congress provided an amazing opportunity to further our understanding of the latest management strategies and research outcomes for Parkinson’s disease. Our brilliant Clinical Research Fellows presented 6 posters detailing all of our Working Groups amazing progress over the past year. You can find these on our ‘Updates and Outcomes’ page!

Protocol Writing Meeting

We are delighted to announce that EJS ACT-PD held a very successful ‘Protocol Writing’ meeting in December 2022. Our Steering Group, Core Team, and patient and carer representatives thoroughly reviewed working group recommendations to make important decisions for our first draft protocol. This brilliant progress has instilled renewed excitement for the development of this revolutionary trial platform. We look forward to continuing our momentum in the New Year!

Project Overview

The EJS ACT-PD Consortium is comprised of 6 Working Groups, an overarching Steering Group and an International Advisory Group. Whilst each Working Group is focused on a specific element of the project, they work collaboratively to reach consensus on all decisions made.
