Quality Of Life Group

In this monthly group people with Parkinson’s talk, laugh, share experiences, and learn to be forthright about feelings and needs. We exchange information about what works for us as individuals: whatever has improved the quality of life for someone and so potentially for others.

The group is not facilitated but self-led. We learn how to deal emotionally with what the world throws at us now that we have Parkinson's; how to maintain our sense of humour and our fighting spirit. Spontaneous comments include “It’s so good to be able to talk about Parkinson’s without boring anyone!” and “The feeling of understanding and companionship was heart-warming.”.

The Quality of Life group meets in-person until December 2025. Weather dependent, the meetings may move online at the start of 2026.

The meetings are held from 2pm until 3.15pm, usually on the first Thursday of the month.

The venue is Murrayfield View, 28 Roseburn Place, EH12 5NN. There is car parking at the building, or you can get Lothian Buses 12, 26 or 31. The tram stop at Murrayfield is roughly a ten minute walk.
