Ms Bancroft, community pharmacist and Royal Pharmaceutical Society local pharmacy forum lead for north-west London, has been working on a joint project with Parkinson's UK to introduce a Parkinson's disease-specific MUR.
The MUR toolkit was originally tested on 32 Parkinson's patients in 2016, before being rolled out to 29 pharmacists "from all over the UK", Ms Bancroft told C+D.
