This is the inaugural edition of the monthly update from “The Neuro-Patient Resource Centre”. As part of Parkinson's disease Awareness Month, we’re highlighting information resources on Parkinson's disease.
One of the most consulted topics by patients who visit The Neuro-Patient Resource Centre is about driving. It’s a topic that brings up a lot of questions and uncertainties.
The resource we use regularly is the @Parkinson Quebec web page, a reliable source that addresses common concerns such as:
- “Do I have to inform the SAAQ of my Parkinson’s diagnosis?”
- “Do I have to inform my car insurance of my diagnosis?”
- “How does Parkinson’s disease affect your ability to drive?”
You can explore these answers and more by visiting the webpage here: https://parkinsonquebec.ca/en/living-with-parkinsons/driving/
For a wealth of resources on Parkinson's disease, including books, guides, and more, visit our website: https://www.mcgill.ca/infoneuro/online-resources/medical-topics/parkinsons-disease
