In this episode of the Ulysses Neuroscience Podcast, we discuss the challenges and the joys found in life with Parkinson’s Disease from a patient’s perspective.

We chat with Gary Boyle, who received a diagnosis of ‘Young Onset’ Parkinson’s Disease in 2009 at the age of 44. In the years that have passed since, Gary has become a champion for an ‘interdisciplinary’ approach to dealing with Parkinson’s, and all other neurological conditions. Having previously been a Board member of the Parkinson's Association of Ireland for two years, this year, Gary was elected as a Board member of the European Parkinson’s Disease Association and has made it his mission to drive patient advocacy forward, so that in all medical consultations the patient is always placed first and is listened to in a way that fosters two-way conversation.
