We have an exciting opportunity for a Nurse Advisor to work for a highly respected healthcare company to contribute to the development and provision of a high quality nursing service for people living with Parkinson's Disease. The nurse will work with healthcare professionals (HCP) across secondary and primary care supporting the initiation and maintenance of Parkinson's Disease therapies.

The role involves working closely with patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease. You will be required to support PD patients moving them through the care pathway from Secondary Care, Primary Care and back to their home environment hence you can truly make a difference to their quality of life.

Ideally you will be currently working as a Nurse Advisor or you could be a nurse who is looking to move out of the NHS into a more ‘commercial’ arena yet still retaining patient contact.

The key responsibilities of the role include:
- Acting as a source of information for your patient pool
- Contributing, where required, to patient clinics, in order to assess patients and give clinical assistance to the multidisciplinary team.
