James Barber (from Southwark Liberal Democrats) has helped develop a test for Parkinson’s disease.

On his blog he tells you how you can help the clinical trials by ‘donating’ to the clinical trials by a voice recording down the line. It doesn’t take long – and imagine – in a couple of years there could be a reliable test.

I did it – and it only took a couple of minutes and involved saying a few sentences.  Just telephone 01865 521168 and follow the instructions.
