Here is episode four of MBH & Connections: The Podcast. Today I am talking to another participant of ours who attends our Parkinson’s group. Dave was diagnosed with Parkinson’s while he was still working full time, and talks to me about his diagnosis and balancing the condition with a full time job. He went on to set up the Parkinson’s Group for People of Working Age in Hereford, aimed at ensuring that people who are still working have access to a Parkinson’s support group. Today Dave and I discuss how his Parkinson’s affected his work and connections with his colleagues, the connections he has formed since retiring from work, and also the connections that he has formed within his CE sessions.
