title: Parkinson's disease. Critical diagnosis.
abstract: NICE guidance recommends that suspected Parkinson's patients are referred to a specialist for diagnosis. More GPs should be encouraged to refer rather than treat patients so they will be treated quickly, and their medicines managed by an expert. Nurse specialists can also be used to run clinics, freeing up consultants to see more new patients.
