Guidelines For Launching The Global Declaration
IDENTIFY AN OPPORTUNITY
- Identify a suitable event that is important
to your organisation (i.e. Anniversary, World
Parkinson's Disease Day etc.,) where it will
be possible to promote and advocate the needs
of people with Parkinson's and their families
as widely as possible to People with Parkinson's,
Carers and healthcare professionals
PROMOTE
- Invite important representatives that will
encourage media coverage (i.e. Health Minister,
Patrons, national celebrities) to attend the
event and to sign the Declaration raising
the profile of your organisation and that
of Parkinson's disease
- Make the signing of the Declaration a focal
point of the event and encourage delegates
to also sign the Declaration thereby supporting
its aims and objectives to improve quality
of life
- Publicise and promote the day's event and
media coverage by reporting this to your members
and health care professionals via your national
journals and website
PUBLICISE
- Send reports and pictures to Lizzie Graham,
Secretary-General, EPDA and Co-ordinator of
the Working Group on PD via email/CD to
lizzie@epda.eu.com
These reports and pictures will be added
to the EPDA Global
Declaration and World
PD Day web pages
- Hang the signed Declaration in a prominent
position within your organisation
- Monitor if there has been a change in awareness
after the event and build on this to effect
change and heighten the profile of your organisation
and Parkinson's disease
