Tamworth Parkinson's Support Group invites public to information seminar at West Tamworth League Club

The Parkinson's information seminar will be held at West Tamworth League Club from 9.30am to 2.30pm, with five guest speakers who work in the field to offer information and advice.

Tamworth Parkinson's Support Group member and former president Brian Sullivan said a good turnout is expected for the group's first local seminar since 2016.

"The speakers will talk about how to overcome problems associated with Parkinson's," he said.

"There's 56 people booked in, mostly from Tamworth, some from other centres in the north west as well."

Mr Sullivan, a Parkinson's sufferer himself for the past 15 years, said people with Parkinson's, their carers and members of the public are invited to attend.
