Article: Impact of specialist palliative care on coping with Parkinson's disease: patients and carers
UK guidelines recommend palliative care access for people with Parkinson's disease, however it remains sporadic.

The study found that access to specialist palliative care helped patients and carers cope in particular with managing uncertainty; impacts on the self; and maintaining a positive outlook.
