Your host
My name is Julie Jones and I am a physiotherapist and academic based at the School of Health Sciences at the Robert Gordon University, and I am part of the North of Scotland Parkinson's research interest group. Living up in the North of Scotland, attending research meetings can be challenging, so as a group we decided that podcasts may be a way to bring the research to the community. Therefore, we started a journey of recording podcasts with local and nationally renowned research who work in the field of Parkinsons.
