Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, ranking as the most common among movement disorders. People living with Parkinson’s disease benefit from the specialised skills and expertise of a dedicated Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders nurse specialist (PDMDNS) (Bramble, Carroll, & Rossiter, 2018). Access to a PD nurse embedded into the local health setting impacts the potential to avoid hospital admissions due to worsening of symptoms, improving quality of life through improved access to specialist services and reducing carer burden (Bramble et al. 2018) The World Health Organisation advocates for the tracking healthcare workforce demographics and distribution trends to ensure equity of health care services and robust economic planning to meet future needs (WHO 2016). This marks the fourth publication in an ongoing annual series examining the longitudinal trends of the PDMDNS workforce in Australia (Williams et al., 2021, 2023).
