Dr Bethany Whiteside, Senior Lecturer, Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

This month the NoSPRIG Parkinson’s research podcast is taking an unusual step away from science and into the arts. We’re joined by Dr Bethany Whiteside, Senior Lecturer at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, to find out about her research into specially adapted dance for people with Parkinson’s. 

She has identified a huge range of benefits for people taking part in the classes, which have movements specially tailored for those with the condition, and why the benefits differ from those of exercise on its own.
