Parkinsons in Malta

During our recent visit to Malta…

Malta Parkinson’s Disease Association

The MPDA team looking wonderful this morning (missing our fantastic president Veronica Clark, who’s working her magic for us from the UK)! We were lucky to have the most amazing Anne Martin with us again today. She specializes in movement disorders and, as always, gave the most informative and interesting lecture. Thank you Anne! (Parkinson’s UK).

We also had the pleasure of meeting the inspirational Colin Rickards, who opened up 2 Cafes in the UK for people with PD (check it out at https://parkinsonscafe.co.uk/). Keep up your good job Colin!

We were delighted to see our lovely members again and to get to know some new ones. It would take more than rain to stop the MPDA family.
