Bone Health: Dr Alistair Mackett, Consultant Geriatrician specialising in Parkinson’s at Addenbrookes Hospital and Regional Clinical Lead for the East of England Parkinson’s Excellence Network

This month we focus on bone health with the help of our guest Dr Alistair Mackett, a Consultant Geriatrician specialising in Parkinson's at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Regional Clinical Lead for the East of England Parkinson's Excellence Network.  People with Parkinson's are far more likely to to have poor bone health and a far higher risk of fracture than the rest of the population. We find out why, how this can be prevented and what treatments are available.
