Parkinson's Disease Society
Connect works with the Parkinson's Disease Society, providing tailored political and parliamentary monitoring. Connect's services ensure that PDS is kept fully up-to-date with all political and parliamentary developments affecting not only issues specific to Parkinson's Disease, but the wider issues of health and social care...
Our services include a parliamentary diary, outlining the business of both Houses of Parliament for the day ahead along with any other upcoming announcements of particular interest, which is sent by 9.30 am every day. Every Thursday, in the weeks that Parliament is sitting, PDS also receives a Weekly Business document setting out the Parliamentary Business for the following week. Added to this, Connect produces a Weekly Bulletin on Mondays setting out important upcoming political events and reports, with which they plan their future strategy.
Connect also comprehensively monitors all relevant activity in Parliament including parliamentary questions, Hansard speeches, adjournment debates, ministerial statements and departmental press releases. Connect also monitors press releases from a wide range of organisations of interest to PDS.
In addition, a political report is produced every fortnight. The report is produced in an easy-to-read format comprising short summaries of all information sent during the period and categorised to allow PDS to pinpoint specific areas of interest easily. The report also contains hyperlinks so that further information can be accessed on any given issue.
The Connect monitoring team offers an invaluable service to PDS by supplementing the monitoring service with detailed briefings and research on specific areas of interest, tailored biographies of Parliamentarians, and event support.
The team is also on hand to answer queries about parliamentary and political procedure, along with alerts on more general political announcements such as Government reshuffles which may have an impact on their work.
